BUG!

I'm very concerned right now as there seems to be some sort of very small insect crawling around INSIDE my computer screen :?

Maybe it has somehow found a way to convert itself to binary?

I would do a screenshot, but I don't think it would work.

Kind of, yes, but a lot smaller.

Reminds me of that brilliant episode of The X Files with the cock roaches.

Right, I think it's either dead or sleeping, the irritating thing is that it's right in the middle of the screen!

Mention of coakroaches reminds me of the first time I was in a drawing office (about 30 years ago).
A little Polish guy showed us some drawings he'd done. Really clever characitures of his colleagues and famous people. But there was one drawing I don't think he meant to show us...it was his interpretation of a cockroach....well, the back half of it was roach.... :?

F**k yeah, I saw that one recently again on the SyFy Channel and that cockroach running 'over the screen' really got me again and made me walk up to the screen actually.

I've been whinging about the same over on Twitter. The little buggers get in our monitors at work and everywhere. Colloquially known as thunderbugs, apparently they're really called Thrips. For both singular and plural, like sheep.

I think I read somewhere about there being a fair number of huge ones in Google map images.

The little horrors covered my houses windows the other day. Hundreds of them on every one! When myself and the Brother ventured outside t'other week during the previous period of mega heat, we were nearly killed to death by them.
