Survival Tactics in the Universe

Lesson 1 : Don't shake hands with your anti-self !

If, by chance, on a particularly queer day, you should come upon your anti-self, do not shake hands with him/her, as is customary. The theory behind the existance of anti-particles finds that should a particle and it's particle ever collide, then they will annihilate each other, producing energy and a bright light.
