Even worse, I've seen 'sudo userdel root' ... ;)
A friend of mine did that, "just to see what would happen."
And, even though he could have fixed it with a boot disk, he decided to
reinstall.
Still, it was rather fun seeing "You don not exist. Go Away." when you
tried to hit control-alt-del.
Unfortunately, without root, there was no safe way to reboot, and sudo
stopped functioning. =)
