Hehehehehehehehehehhahahaha..ahhhh, comic relief! :)

I'll one-up you. :)

I would like to propose that the Active Style Guide consist of nothing
more than a giant, dancing, witty, clever paperclip that offers you
advice, and resides in a window in the corner of your screen that you cant
remove.

I would also like it to be made MANDITORY that a giant clown pop up during
Gnome sessions, which offers the users bad advice. For example, the evil
clown pops up, and the word bubble from his mouth says, "HEY KIDS! SPEED
UP YOUR SYSTEMS!!! TYPE RM -RF / AS ROOT!"
