Along the lines of files with strange characters in them, a funny thing
happened to a member of my group today (at least we thought it was
funny).  He had a file name with an ampersand in it.  He tried to remove
it by saying    rm *&*

If you can't figure out what happens, try it in an unimportant
directory.
