I found a strange glitch that happens when you try to "execute" a PDF file. (I incorrectly thought that running a file from the terminal would open the file in the default player.) Anyway, when I ran it by changing to the file's directory and running it by typing...
./file_name.pdf
...I got a bunch of glitchy text running down my screen. After 5 minutes or so, it stopped, but it messed up all of the characters in the terminal. I thought it looked pretty neat, so I took a screenshot

(This is me playing a MUD in the terminal with glitchy text)
Once I closed the terminal and opened it again, the text was back to normal. I don't really know why it happened, and it didn't seem to cause any damage, so I don't really care all that much. If you find that it works for you, then I guess you could have some fun with it.
