The Voodoo King
Ukorz the king of Zul'Farrak, a huge troll, an evil troll with the powers of voodoo magic discovered that I had entered into his forbidden lands and killed one of his precious Zum'rah witch doctors. In fact his most prized witch doctor. Upon discovering this treacherous news, Ukorz sent one of his deadliest assassins, Bah'Kull the ghost dragon (picture 1) to assassinate me. Bah'Kull discovered my whereabouts, located within the depths of a Sunken Temple and was able to take me by surprise. It was a vicious and deadly fight, one which I shall never forget, being scarred for life. Again I beat the odds and escaped death's deadly grasp on my life. Knowing that Bah'Kull was one of Ukorz's assassins I made a vow and swore revenge against Ukorz and his evil followers. In my weakened condition I crawled and pulled my wrecked body from the sunken temple and finding a trusted griffin flew home (picture 2) to visit one of the local priests. After healing and receiving several priest blessings returning me to full health, it was time for revenge. I traveled back to Tanaris and entered that horrible land of Zul'Farrak. I carelessly approached Zul'Farrak appearing to be a lost and wandering traveler and was immediately seized by the guards. Before the guards could kill me, I said that I had news from Bah'Kull and it was for the king only. The guards dragged me off to see the king. Standing before the king, Ukorz asked me for my name and for the information. Knowing that Ukorz was going to kill me after giving him this information, I said, "Ukorz, Bah'Kull is dead by my own hand and I have come to claim your head, for I am Elric The Red". A deathly awe inspiring silence settled over the kings hall. In those few silent moments I called forth my demon and attacked with hell's fury. It was a vicious, gory and bloody battle... now the trolls of Zul'Farrak call me "The Voodoo King" (picture 3). But that is another story.

Partition Table Recovery using sfdisk
Before modifying a device's partition table create a file that contains a list of the current partitions. If for some reason there's a problem or the original partition table needs to be recovered (before modification) this file can become invaluable.
Create the file using sfdisk and redirect it's output to a file.
sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda_partitions.pt
To restore the partition table
sfdisk /dev/hda < hda_partitions.pt

How do you wake a sleeping rock giant?
Get several people to stand around the sleeping rock giant to pose for a picture. Have one of those people climb up and stand on the rock giant's head. Make sure the camera's flash is turned on to maximum brightness and then take the picture. Be prepared for a very angry rock giant.
(Note: Don't try this at home, this is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by World of Warcraft professionals.)
