*grin* while reading through the linux fortune cookies a while ago I spotted
the following:
As you reach for the web, a venomous spider appears. Unable to pull your
hand away in time, the spider promptly, but politely, bites you. The venom
takes affect quickly causing your lips to turn plaid along with your
complexion. You become dazed, and in your stupor you fall from the limbs of
the tree. Snap! Your head falls off and rolls all over the ground. The
instant before you croak, you hear the whoosh of a vacuum being filled by
the air surrounding your head. Worse yet, the spider is suing you for
damages.
I thought it might make a particularly entertaining 'deathtrap' description ;)
KaVir.
