Cruising down the road past some NPCs I suddenly get the message:

DEBUG: Zoey Robinson tried to eat a lighter  
Press spacebar…

Amusing but probably not an intended behavior.

Oh and it’s one of those debug messages that repeats itself every turn.

Moving around with debug messages on is just asking for weirdness.

I have them off but I kept getting the message until I managed to locate the offending NPC and run her over with my purloined school bus.

She deserves to be run over by a bus if she was trying to eat a lighter anyway
