"throw" is like what idiots do in glass houses, only most thrown exceptions have a purpose.

Basically, "throw" means: something's gone wrong, crash my program unless somebody up the stack thought this might happen, catches it, and does something else.

"throws" is a tag for methods, to warn people up the stack to be prepared...
