> HOW TO SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT USING DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Oh, some of my own additions:

Squeak: The documentation claims you can shoot yourself in the foot
  by sending an appropriate message to an appropriate object. The
  documentation doesn't tell you what those objects are. Also, the
  documentation is lying. You shoot Mark Guzdial in the foot.

HTML/Javascript: You discover that the <foot> tag is deprecated.
  Also, document.foot.shoot isn't supported by Netscape 4. You try to
  use layers, but Netscape 4 shoots you in the hand.
