Ever try adding a string and an integer in JavaScript?

I think developers who think JavaScript is great, love it because it's forgiving. Do what you want, the JavaScript siren says, it might work, it might not but at least you won't have an ugly all stop. I'll try to make it do something, anything, sings the siren.
