Okay Seriously.. This is really Freaking me out o_0

i was sat casually at my computer chattin away on msn.
when all of a sudden i spot a moth on my wall :o

so i attempted to splat it with a magazine.. and then it flew away and straight into my PC!!!! :o:o


it went in though my side fan which is spinning at 1200rpm
so by my reckoning it managed to get through a 7blade fan thats rotating 20 times a second and live to tell the tale!!!!!


it was walking around inside having a nosy and then it jumped onto my pci slot and started to ascend my motherboard.!!!


this ordeal has left me shocked and emotionally scarred. :'(

Reminds me of an old bash.org quote that went something like: Guy 1- Dude there's a fly on my monitor and it's following my mouse pointer around. Guy 2- Woah take a screenshot! Guy 2- Wait nvm.

Ok, i think the moths are out to get me :( I had a big moth in my room tonight so i grabbed it in a piece of toilet paper and flushed it down the toilet...... About 5 minutes later i was taking a leak and then i just see this moth emerge! I panicked and i pulled the flush but this moth was invincible! I opened the lid to find that the moth was swimming casually in the water. At this point i ran away and typed this. I'm scarred for life:( It was a big one as well, the really tough kind.

The first computer "bug" was a moth in a CIA computer... This situation is actually pretty scary in more ways than one, and I believe the CIA theory is now a valid one.

I can hear one banging around the side of my computer desk atm! my friend was round earlier and when we saw it we ran (he was pretty scared of them too!) It flew down the side of my desk and now i can hear it rummaging! Moths are also so pointless! their life objective is to follow the light and then get killed by the light.

I want my mummy!!!!!
