One evening i was just getting into the sack when it just randomly tuned itself on and booted up Windows. Scared the shit out of me and my other half. Did it on a couple of occasions then stopped. Never did find out why.

They're heeeere. The poltergeists have you

Well, I've had several occasions when I happened to be in a different room than the one that holds the computer, during which some as of yet unexplanable and indiscribable sounds just popped out of my computer speakers (something like a llama during a mating ritual, I don't know). I'm not sure if there's such a thing as imagining sounds, but it certainly freaked me out at that point.

That other room wouldn't happen to be the kitchen, would it ? I hear you're a lousy cook, so it might be a reaction of some components to the smell that's coming out of the kitchen.

If my laptop were to turn on by itself and somehow play "that" image mentioned in the Britney Spears thread here on IW, I think I might literally have a heart attack, and be too afraid to get near a computer for the rest of my life.

*image still burned into his mind*

Gah, I'm not a lousy cook, it's the pitiful excuse for a kitchen that I have that's keeping me from actually cooking something more challenging than potatoes.
It's basically a side-board with only two electric heating units, an oven and a micro-wave on it, that's pretty much it. No sink, no decent worktop, hardly any space to do anything... No wonder I tend to get somewhat sloppy when it comes to cooking. Guess we'll have to wait to improved living conditions before we'll really figure out if my cooking is worth squat.

I gotta ask the obvious -- just how do you know what a llama during a mating ritual sounds like in the first place? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
