Speech Commands allows you to quit Finder!

[devburke]

I was just messing around with Speech Commands and accidentally discovered that if, in Finder, you say "Quit this application", Finder will quit!

EDIT: I should also add that if you don't have any other applications open, it will reopen right away

If you hold the option key and right click Finder's dock icon, you will get an option to "Relaunch" the Finder, which does exactly what it says on the tin.

There's also some plist trick that adds a "Quit" option to Finder's application menu, but I forget what it is atm, and I don't feel like Googling for it.
