Felix's finest moment - *not*!
 
I was sitting at my computer one fine eve, an old piece-a-junk
Taiwanese-case critter made out of everything in Silicon Valley nobody
else wanted - including a really loud fan.
 
So I hear this high-pitch buzzing noise, like a bee on steroids, coming from
the back of the (minitower) case on the floor.  Sigh.  Look back there,
notice Felix the wienercat has noticed the fan - every time he sticks his
nose near it, his whiskers brush the fan, producing the buzz sound.
 
"Felix, you fuzzy moron, get away from that thing!"
 
Sure enough, he gets too close.  The fan grabs one whisker, pulls it clean
off.
 
"Heh.  That'll teach ya!"
 
He looks at the 'pooter, staring in shock...then his tail goes bottle-brush,
he starts snarling and hissing, and *attacks* his new-found "enemy".
 
You guess it.  He grabs the power cord, starts jerking and shaking it.
 Musta thought it was a tail of some sort - pulled it clean out.
 
"You dang WEASEL!  My DOCUMENT!"
 
Then, as the fan and HD spin down, he musta figured the silence was due
to his having "killed" it.  He starts jumping around, happy as all hell,
typical "weasel wardance", then goes running off and jumps on the cat.
 
Sigh.
 
Leaving me to run "scandisk" and try to reunite myself with my doc.
