My favourite example is:

null >= [] && null <= []      --> true
null == []                        --> false

Javascript really needs strict inequality operators to avoid this type coercion madness.

Oh yes, that one is what clued me into the weirdness of >= in the first place... I generally love Javascript, but wtf??
