Dang, watch those typos! You might delete the whole system!

I think I have done it all. A while back I meant to do this:
rm *.gz which will remove every file with a .gz (compressed) extension

Well, my little typo then was this:
rm * .gz
Note the space between the * and .gz. The difference was that this deleted every file in that directory. Fortunately, it was in a directory with only a few files.
