pleasure of fixing? :)

One of my friends was testing the mobile phone bowling game for EA and he
found that if you bowl a 300, the app crashes.

I remember an old bug in IE, I believe IE4 and below, that seemed just purpose built for trolls. If you had a link like so:
<a href="null">c'mon click me, its totally cool</a>
it would crash your computer. No blue screen, no messages, just bam your computer is turned off like you yanked the power cord. Good times.
