Extracting elements over multiple lists?

[Prasad, Ramit]

>>for x in a, b, c:
>>    del x[0]
>for arr in [a,b,c]:
>  arr.pop(0)

>(Peter's "del" solution is quite close, but I find the 'del' statement 
>tricky in python and will mislead many python newcomers)

Can you expand on why 'del' is "tricky"/misleading?
