I actually keep a list of fucked up shit that js does by my desk for
personal amusement. Here's some of favourites:

$ js
Rhino 1.7 release 2 2010 02 06
js> //max is less than min
js> Math.max>Math.min
false
js> Math.max<Math.min
true
js> //Greater than mischief
js> 3>2>1
false
js> //Not a number is a number
js> typeof NaN
number
js> //Null is an object...
js> typeof null
object
js> //...But not an object
js> null instanceof Object
false
js> //Strings aren't
js> "string" instanceof String
false
js> //Rounding silliness
js> 0.1+0.2==0.3
false
js> 9999999999999999
