Default Flourescent Bulbs in Dimmers

Hi,
I have always been told not to put flourescent bulbs in light systems
with dimmers. My question is what happens? I know you can't run the
flourescent bulbs in a 'dimmed' fashion... so if I run the system at
full power all the time I would assume it would be ok. But what
happens if someone turns the dimmer down? Will it blow anything up?
Just shorten the life of the bulb? Burn the dimmer out? Cause world
hunger to stop, etc?
