We have a DVD intranet library thing at work.
It can automatically search the internet for DVD box covers, by linking to google with the search terms 'DVD Name DVD'.

I noticed that the Vin Diesel film 'XXX' didn't have a cover, so I clicked the link.

Hands up who knows what happened next?

However, by far the stupidest computer thing I've done at work:
About three years ago I was promoting one of my companies websites at the B'ham NEC. They'd set up loads of chairs and tables, and loads of computers were available, but not many people were coming round.
Anyway, I found a computer near the back and started posting on some forums, then downloaded IRC and started chatting.
Bloke on IRC wanted a game file downloaded but he couldn't get it from work, so I said I'd get it for him, and went onto warez.com and started the download, moving the pr0n pop-ups out of the way as I went.
Anyway, while the file was downloading, I noticed that one of the popups had been made so it was upside down and mirrored.
Intrigued, I started to decipher the text (the pictures looked the same, you just can't tell which way they should be up with pr0n).
When I'd finished reading, I looked up to see it there was a fire exit or somewhere I could go to have a smoke.

That's.

When.

I.

Spotted.

The.

Hooooooooooooooooooooooge.

Plasma.

Screen.

At.

The.

Front.

That.

Hooked.

Up.

To.

My.

PC.

Nice.

A better way of telling the story could possibly be:

However, by far the Greatest computer thing I've done at work:
About three years ago I was promoting one of my companies websites at the B'ham NEC. They'd set up loads of chairs and tables, and loads of computers were available, but not many people were coming round.

After this i was quickly bored so i hooked up the PC to a Hoooooooooooooooge Plasma screen at the back of the room and filled it with p0rn.

The bitch of it was, the hooooooooooooooge screen was switching from PC to PC so there must of been a guy working it so why didn't he turn it off?

Mofo.
