 Fun thing to do:

 Type 'sudo echo /bin/rm -rf /' in Terminal.  Select the text, copy it to
 the clipboard.

 In the clipboard, select "Open in Terminal".  Ouch!

 Since Terminal registers itself for the mime types text/plain and
 text/rtf, and just pastes the contents into the shell, you can launch this
 attack via Browse as well.

 Terminal should not register itself to handle mime-types!
