TIPS "The Network is Down" has had quite a lot of fun with "BSOD" ("blue screen of death - that incomprehensible and decidedly not-picturesque method by which Windows tells us it's quit working).

Below are an assortment of BSODs and software crashes occurring in odd places and odd times, courtesy of Matt Michie and daimyo.org.
