As in.. truly evil; like the fru-its of the dev-il?

It has potential.

Death by sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads: 0

Because I can't get sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads!

But seriously, I did shave my head. It was quite fun.

Pfft, that's nothing, one Halloween, 5 or 6 years ago *I* shaved my head. Waist-length to zero in one go, beat that :)
I then got a barcode drawn on my neck for the Hw. party, as in the Hitman game :)

I can actually beat it. But I wouldn't post it in a public forum.

Hint: It involved the worlds most hideous display of fishnet stockings. Not for a Rocky Horror Picture Show gathering either. :P

If fantasy serves me right, I believe that would most certainly make onions cry - possibly even shriek.

I yield. You are eviller.

News: Throughout the country farmers are reporting their onion fields getting flooded with salty water for no particular reason. In other news, the police are still investigating the spontaneous combustion of an entire forum. Forensic experts point to a suspicious picture post, but no additional information will be released to the public, as the last three officers to look upon the post did spontaneously combust as well. Now sports...

Maybe a wee bit off topic, but what's the plural of phoenix? phoenii? phoenixes?

Also, what's a group of those called? A Terror of <insert plural form here>? A sewing circle of <same plural>?

Matrix - matrices.
So:
A conflagration of phoenices ;)

Also, following similar animals, it could be:

A siege of (herons)
A muster of (storks)

Aaand, wait for eeeet:

A phalanx of (storks)

So, since we're a PHP forum, I vote for:
A phalanx of phoenices.

Neat! I didn't know off-hand, but..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28mythology%29

Says its Phoenixes, and its echoed in some of the Harry Potter books as well.

So true. Oh, I was young, and the things I did then..
