Yeah, 6 + 7 = 14.3 is quite suspicious, but who would question
sin(pi^2) = -0.47?
There are all sorts of little pranks to pull:
1. randomly change the number base display setting after each entry
2. install upside-down (or sideways, or mirror-image) fonts
3. switch + and * (oh, wait... it's been done)
Personally, I'd like to see someone make the calculator briefly display a
"Happy 86" icon in the center of the screen whenever the calc turns on.
