Weirdest thing to ever happen to you?

Simple...ha

What has been the weirdest thing to ever happen to you while you were on the computer?

one time i turned my computer on after fooling with my HDD cage(with a floppy drive also) and the floppy drive power plug was misaligned so it wouldnt fully post, or fully turn off, and the wires going to the drive melted and basically just turned directly into Smoke , and the red wires that go into some of the molex connectors turned brown that was not a very fun experience but i learned my lesson to be careful plugging floppy's in

Well i was bored and found a switch on the back of my PSU i flicked it a HUGE explosion came out the back of my psu right next to my brothers head scared the hell out of him, and i was left speechless.

Now what i learnt is DO NOT switch you psu yo 115v and plug it into a 240v socket.......

But on that note i can tell you how to make a power point explode!!! (first time i did this i didnt check if the point was off and it blew up in my face....)

1. get some graphite from "pacers/mechanical pencils" you need 3 peices snap one in half so you have two hole ones
2. put the two hole ones in the point but DO NOT Cross them or touch them (uses less lead this way)
3. bridge it with one of the half's
4. stand back and flick the switch on with an out reached arm and turn head to avoid flying anything.....

Have fun use it wisely!!!

****Note*****
If you do cross the two coming out of the point their is a very good chance u will kill the point! so do it my way

If some one does do this show me how it goes over their because of less V's

For more experienced users get one or two of the art pencils that are solid graphite shave done the end with a knife (get parents permission) so it will fit in point now, bridge it with another peice of the graphite. I can almost guarantee that if u do this one you will kill the power point.... BEWARE!!!

If you are worried about the point, use one of the power boxes that schools have, they work nicely.....

Be safe and have fun

Wasn't my computer, but went to work on a computer at a rest home, complaint was weird noises on startup. Got there, cranked it up, mouse comes flying out the expansion port, runs right by my arm, does a Brody right off the table the puter was on. Rest home cat makes short work of the critter. I open the case and there's a nest of 6 baby mice in the machine. I remove the nest, scratch my head wondering what to do with the mice (I knew I wasn't giving them to the cat), like 6 gray haired women rush me and adopt the mice (pretty sure one was trying to adopt me). Just charged them a service call fee and no labor, took that to a pet store and got them some feeder bottles and a plastic hamster cage.

Just goes to show the biological clock can tick well into the 70s. Gotta say they made holla good cookies.
