Okay, So I put my computer into a brand new case today. I was taking all the parts out of the old case and putting them aside when I noticed something strange. You see, I have this enormous fan on my video card, it's a blower fan encased in clear plastic sitting next to a heatsink which is also encased in the same plastic. That's not the wierd thing I saw though. As I looked down to take the video card out, I noticed that there was a BEETLE (of the six-legged variety) walking around INSIDE the plastic, ON the heatsink for my video card. I started laughing, because this was the first BUG my computer had ever had...And I spent 10 minutes digging around for a camera to take a picture of it...Couldn't find one. It would have been the perfect internet picture post...

(On a happy note, the beetle managed to escape the plastic/aluminum trap with a little help from me shaking the hades out of my video card)

You know, the original computer "bug" was a moth.

Nice recapitulation.
