What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?

When I was in the army I set up the bulbs from a dozen flash bars in my locker to catch a thief. When he opened the door the bulbs hit him like a flash bang grenade without the bang. We found him stumbling down the hallway blinded.

Game Systems and Virus

My niece stopped by and logged onto our wireless network with her laptop which had a designated hole in her firewall. After that all our systems were blocked from the network. I scanned and repaired the primary and my system and am back up. Is it possible for this problem to have infected the x-box my nephews use and reinfect the rest of the systems when they plug back in?

Explorer, Firefox and Tesla

Last straw, I was posting a comment about Nicola Tesla and once more I see, "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close." I recently began using Firefox to check it out. It has yet to drop out. I am dumping IE. I just wish Fire fox would support the google toolbar.
Tonight's Modern Marvels followed Tesla's work. A good informational show for those TV watchers who may not have been familiar with who he was and what he did.

Just got to reading the comments you left on my page, haven't been around much lately, just too dang busy. Man, that Shelby Mustang pretty much out 'looks' and out powers anything out there in its class, with 550 HP under the hood. Never cared much for the Dodges myself, they just don't have "the look" or even the 'sound' for that matter. :o) One good thing at least, Ford is looking financially better then its competitors since the bankruptcies, who-da-thunk Ford would come out on top of that deal?
I like your vintage "Hemi" ford truck idea. Would that be the ford 429 Hemi or the Dodge 426 Hemi? When I was in Vegas many coons ages ago I saw an old beat up Ford pickup with a power plant that stuck out the hood, all GO and no show.
I would love to get my hands on an original 67 to 69 range Shelby GT 500 and give it a makeover, sorta modernize it like Eleanor. Yeah, if I didn't have so many computers to play with LOL!

I was a fast attack submariner deployed to the front lines hunting all of the time instead of hiding. I only pulled into Puget Sound once for a maintenance refit. We did some crabbing (crab catching in the deep harbor off the side of the boat - and our cooks really made it into a hell of a dinner for the crew. It was great.

I miss the sea also I got out of the service in 1992 and have not been back to sea once. Now I live in the center of the NJ woodlands in the upper north center where you can go an hour in any direction before you can get anywhere worthwhile.
