Ok, guys, here's one I don't think anyone's mentioned yet.

1. Take a generic text file (ie one with no special type or creator).
2. Paste a personalized icon into the file in the get info view.
3. Open the text file with your favorite editor (I used word), make a
change, and save the file (which now has the type and creator
appropriate for a document in word).
4. Note that file now has generic document icon - not your special one,
not the one it 'should' have according to its type and creator.
5. Attempt to remedy this situation by pasting a new personal icon in in
'get info'.
6. Admire the dialog box telling you the operation couldn't be completed
because an error of type -39 occured.

So, do I get a prize or what? :)
