--- 26 ways of annoying people in a computer
room ---
Follow this guide if you want to
confuse, scare or just generally annoy anyone unlucky enough to be in the
same computer room as you!
- Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened
look on your face and scream "Oh my God! They've found me!"
and bolt.
- Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes
& then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks
at you.
- When your computer is turned off, complain
to the monitor on duty that you can't get the damn thing to work.
After he/she's turned it on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again, &
repeat the process for a good half hour.
- Type frantically, often stopping to look
at the person next to you evilly.
- Before anyone else is in the lab, connect
each computer to a different screen than the one it's set up with.
- Write a program that plays the Batman TV
show theme song and play it at the highest volume possible over &
over again.

- Suddenly look amazingly startled by
something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk.
- Ask the person next to you if they know
how to tap into top-secret Pentagon files.
- Make a small ritual sacrifice to the
computer before you turn it on.
- Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If
anyone asks why you have it, say "Just in case..."
mysteriously.
- Light candles in a pentagram around your
terminal before starting.

hands in your pockets. Type by hitting the keys with the straw.

all perish in flames!!!" and continue working.

to him, shout "Thank God you're here!", the run out.
