Bizarre and kind of creepy.
Ok so I have a laptop and my DSL connection goes through a wireless router, right?
The DSL box and the router have this yellow cable that connects them and the cable has to be plugged into the second outlet on the router or else my laptop doesn't connect to the internet.

So I'm sitting here typing in a search for song lyrics and then my page won't load. So I try DU, won't load either then I see I some how disconnected.
So I lean over and look at the router and DSL box and I see the yellow cable is in the first outlet on the router, not the second outlet. And I didn't move it. :wtf:


So how in the fucking hell did it change? :scared:

5. You never know.
One night a friend and I were running through some songs on our guitars and we were using the same amp. all the sudden the amp turned off, and then turned back on, and then off, and then on. We sat and watched the switch go up and down.

9. Computers and Computer Equipment are sentient.
They change things on their own and walk around your house at night and drink all your beer. Really. They are evil tools of Satan.

The cat box filling up really fast is a very good sign of this. ;-)

12. I HATE THAT KIND OF STUFF!
It makes you think that you are going absolutely crazy. It has happened to me in the past. I especially hate it when you go looking for something and can't find it then later on it shows up in a place, hwere you know that no way in hell you ever put it there.

32. I had a similarly odd occurrence last week.....
My DVD/CD player has ALWAYS been plugged into the DVD jacks on my receiver. Always. The wires are all behind my very heavy TV up against the wall - nobody can even get back there without a lot of trouble.

Last week I tried to play a CD. I turned the receiver to DVD, and nothing - no sound. I tried playing a DVD - again, no sound.

After futzing around for an hour, I tried all the different input settings. I set it to CD input and - shockingly - it's playing my DVDs and CDs.

Baffling.

36. Did you have a blackout experience?
Any "missing time" around when you noticed this?
If so-space aliens came and abducted you, and then changed the cables on your DSL.
