some of this i've learned even after 100+ hours of play (some of this has been covered in the daily videos)
- small animals (rat, smal frog, penguin, cricket) will take an arrow blow (just like a damsel does) without you taking any damage
- you can 'borrow' any weapon (aside from a boomerang) from the shopkeeper and fire it outward without him going crazy. It's a very rare scenario, but you might be short on cash and have a giant spider on the exact same horizontal level while a shotgun is for sale. Pick it up, fire it outward, kill the spider, drop the gun an walk out and the shopkeeper is fine. I've tested every projectile weapon, and only boomerangs (and bombs) will instantly set him off.
- You can deposit the damsels in a different door than the one you exit and still get the +1 kiss. This includes tossing them into the worm, mothership, etc, and even when killing yourself while eqipped with the ankh. If they are located near an exit different than the one you plan on using, it's a very easy way to 'bank' that +1 for later. Max pointed this out (via chat) to Patrick recently.
- You can fall from *any* distance without taking fall damage as long as you land hanging onto the edge of something (or bounce off the top of an enemy). The 'hanging on the edge' trick can regularly be done intentionally, the enemy one is trickier but definitely intentionally doable. A randomnly placed enemy can sometimes save your bacon on a very long fall.
