Well, here at OSU the undergrad Macintosh lab is always good for
a few laughs...like the one time someone came to me and asked
if there was any way to get data off of a disk that the mac
refused to read (it was the persons term project).  
I ask "what does the mac do?"  "It spits
it back out."  Hmmm, never seen THAT one before.  I take the
disk the media would not even begin to turn!  "*WHAT* did you
do to this disk?"  "I left it in my pocket and it went through
the washer and drier..."  oh, just use your backup.  It was in
the other pocket...
