Another slogan:
"Quantum database."

Explanation:
Insert Into T(I) Values(0);
Commit;
Update T Set I=1;
Now if users do
Select Sum(I) From T;
some will get 0, some 1, and some Null at the same time. As you can see,
the database is in the superposition of several states.

--------------------
Perhaps instead of voting for slogan there can be much more fun
voting for some representative contribution to this important list:
How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot:
http://users.pandora.be/dirk.claessens2/howto.htm
(or on hundreds other addresses)

Some initial ideas:
-----
CONNECT Foot.fdb;
ALTER TABLE T ADD A INTEGER NOT NULL;
GBAK -backup Foot.fdb Bullet.fbk;
GBAK -replace Bullet.fbk Foot.fdb;

-----
After you shoot yourself in the foot, nobody will notice it,
since you got faint and did not Commit.
