(Taken from the 1995 Robin Williams film "Jumanji", based off a 1981 short story by Chris Van Allsburg.)
Originates from a scene in the movie where Robin Williams' character rolls a pair of dice, one of which falls off of the board. Even though the die is not on the board, it still lands flat and counts as a legitimate roll, ending the game. As long as the dice was not acted on by an outside force (other than the original roll) and it is clear which side is facing up, the roll counts. Often put into effect when playing on a small table, where the dice is likely to roll off.

The scientifically-proven fact that all (or most) Ctrl+Alt+Del strips are improved by removing the second and third panels. It's customary to also remove the dialogue from the fourth panel, but in rare cases it can be left in.
This works because your typical four-panel CAD strip follows a basic formula:
-Panel 1: The setup. Note how instead of spreading it across the first three panels, he crams the entire thing into this first panel.
-Panel 2: Buckley excitedly blurts out the punchline (assuming he didn't already do so in Panel 1), and spends an inordinate amount of time explaining it. Commonly referred to as "Buckleybox A".
Panel 3: Completely redundant panel that exists only because Buckley refuses to abandon three four-panel format. Full of stifling walls of text that either drag along the joke from the first two panels, or are full of "plot" that nobody cares about. Commonly referred to as "Buckleybox B".
Panel 4: Buckley continues dragging along the joke until he finally kills it. More notably, however, there is usually some sort of a visual gag here, and it's typically better than the actual punchline.
As we can see from that, the biggest problem with CAD is the pacing, as by the time the reader get to the visual gag - the funny part - he or she has had to sit through the two Buckleyboxes and the Panel 4 dialogue, which completely destroys any comedic timing. As such, removing the offending panels results in a significantly improved comic.

Whoever touches something first and cares the most gets to decide what to do with it.
Use the Midas Rule to encourage others to go ahead and work on what they want, or when someone's being lazy.

"Can I work on this project?" or "It'd be great if someone fixed this bug."
"Yes, by Midas Rule, feel free to work on that."
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Yes, son. You're 16, by Midas Rule I'm sure you can find something to eat."
