This poor guy was at the wrong place and the wrong time. I personally ran into a few odd customers, but thankfully they never took their clothes off.

Howell man was ordered to stand trial on charges he exposed his genitals to a computer technician trying to fix his slow Internet service.
The charge carries a penalty ranging from one day to life in prison.
Trikes' criminal history includes a misdemeanor conviction for indecent exposure in 1999, for which he was subsequently sentenced to 10 days of community service, probation and counseling.
The technician testified that he went to Trikes' Pinckney Road home Oct. 17, after Trikes complained his Internet service was too slow.
While at the defendant's home, the technician said, Trikes began discussing pornographic Web sites that he had visited online as well as a sexually explicit video that he said he found in a gas station garbage can. The technician said he began talking about his date later that evening "to ease the uncomfortableness" of the situation.
However, the witness said, Trikes then exposed his genitals, which made the technician extremely uncomfortable, so the technician quickly left the home and reported the incident to his supervisor, who called police.
Ummmm, should someone tell him? Naaahhhhhhh....
{Taken verbatim from Ben Hecks site} This project somehow has the distinction of being both the longest and fastest portable electronics project I have ever done. I originally started making a C64 laptop in the fall of 2006, and kept pecking away at it every so often. Finally, a few weeks ago, I said “screw it” and started over.
I redid everything in a week and a half - the shortest project ever. (The previous record hold was the Wii portable at 2 weeks) The goal this time was to make something that looked exactly like a computer from the early 80’s, yet in a new form. Including the color beige and texture. Click Here for All the Info On This Project
On a personal note I still play Commodore 64 games all the time. Of course through emulation though. Try out CCS64 for the emulator and C64.com for the games. One I play often is Donkey Kong from Ocean.
Seriously now, this looks like a lot of fun. I can see my kids having wars with these. Imagine sitting in the house with laptops controlling your tanks outside creating awesome battle scenes. Good lord, this thing has made me 30 years younger! Travis7s over at Instructables has got the step by step on the build.
An awesome plush Gizmo doll that rocks back and forth and sings the Mogwai song. At only $22.99 its a steal for true Gremlin fans brought to us by ThinkGeek.com. (Yes, I'm a long time fan of Gremlins(the first movie). My cockatiel is even named Gizmo.)
