Wait, I didn't mean to imply that I go around TRYING to knock Imp fireballs 
out of the air, just that I've seen it happen (enemy projectile weapons have a 
definate straight-line path, and lining up on it is nearly impossible to do on 
purpose).  Usually I dodge when I can.

BTW: I've been messing around with the sounds in DOOM lately.  I've done the 
following replacements (ammusing and helpful!)

Action                      Sound
---------------------------+----------------------------------------------
When you pick up a weapon  | Ash from 'Army of Darkness' saying "Groovy"
When you fall              | Homer Simpson "Doh!"
When enemies get hit (not  | Dennis Leary "F*ck!"
     killed)               |
When you get hit           | Dennis Leary "Sh*t!"
When you die               | Hudson from 'Aliens' "Game over, man!"
