The Unix Haters' Handbook is worth looking up. I think it is out of print but the PDF is available for download.

My favourite from USENET is cleaning out .o files after compiling C code but fat-fingering the SHIFT key and instead of typing

% rm -f \.o

,typing

% rm -f *>o

which gives you an empty directory and a zero length file called "o"

ah yes....
