Stupid Achievements in Rift...

To answer your (a specific you, of course) question, yes, there are "dumb" achievements in Rift. See "Cry Me a River", granted for slaughtering large numbers of squirrels, and "Death-Defying Acheesement", granted for completing a short quest chain involving eating poisoned cheese. I don't think there are any "wrong-place-wrong-time" achievements yet, though, like the "get killed by Deathwing" one in WoW.
