Weridest thing to happen to me has to be the 'Frisbie of DEATH'. I had one of the first gen high-speed drives, 48x or 52x, cant remember. Years ago those early drives (especialy the cheap ones) didnt have a mechanism to stop the cd. You hit the button, it ejected, no matter what. Was working on something and the cd-drive went to full speed, stuff began to slowly move around my desk from the vibrations caused. Then, windows froze. Thinking it was the "new" cdrom (I had had issues with windows getting stuck durring a cd spin-up), I hit the eject button. Next thing I knew, there was a loud buzzing sound, then a THUMP, and the cd was imbeded about half-way into the wall behind me. Luckly the tower was elevated slightly and I wasnt leaning over it to hit the button, or I might be less a finger or two. Other than the usual "I though it was a cup-holder", nothing else has been 'weird'.
