Burning a CD, I suddenly receive a warning: my burner has had an error.
I extract the disc, scratching my head. I look to see how much was burned. I discover a gnat, sliced by the laser of my burner! Note the skid path the gnat endured, from the middle of the disc and then resting where the burner quit writing (as it could not write beyond the gnat’s carcass).
This is one of the oddest computer related issues that I have personally encountered. Hysterical.

Sweet! You still have the CD? That’d be awesome if you took a better pic with the macro feature on your camera and reposted the pic.

I do but I accidentally knocked off the dead gnat when I set it down somewhere. So, you can see the streak, but not the carcass. C’est la vie.
