Unintentional South Park reference
I was recalling something that happened in one of the games I ran years back, and I thought I'd tell you folks about it, as it was quite amusing to me.
It was a very high-powered World of Darkness crossover game. The PCs had traveled through a crazy, spiritual/temporal/spacial vortex thingy to reach their destination--that being Baba Yaga's chicken hut. They had managed to get inside the hut and had been attacked by some guardian creature in the (massive) foyer. They defeated the creature, but as they were doing so one of them (we'll call hir A-ko) shot a gun and missed it. They found to their dismay that not only were all the walls and floor quite indestructible, but the bullet's ricocheting was (by the weird quasi-physics of the hut) causing it to increase in speed over time rather than decrease. As the bullet whizzed around the room and they made various lucky (and increasingly difficult) dodge rolls, one of them opened the hut door, and another one (a mage, whom we'll call B-ko) used magic to deflect the bullet in that direction.
As they were doing this, the third player, C-Ko, protested that shooting it out into the void could make it end up anywhere or anywhen. B-Ko, more concerned with not being hit by the constantly-more-dangerous bullet, did it anyway.
At that point the scene went like this:
SERA: OK, you've done it! The bullet zips out into the swirly vortex, no more dodging for you.
PLAYERS COLLECTIVELY SIGH WITH RELIEF
C-KO: I do a divination to see where the bullet went.
A-KO: Yeah, where does it end up?
SERA THINKS FAST ABOUT WHAT THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE FOR IT TO GO MIGHT BE
SERA: Oh, it ended up in Dallas, in 1963.
PLAYERS ARE SILENT FOR A MOMENT
B-KO: Oh, my god...
A-KO: We... killed Kennedy?
C-KO: You bastards!
ALL LAUGH
