Local bsod's?

In Wal-Mart Kunia register lines once achieved a Dante-level of annoyance
from a bsod'd cash register...

There's the typical consulting client that has incessant bsod's but swore
linux was unreliable...

Are Safeway registers windows?  Saw a crashed one of them that seemed
bsod'd, but caught only a quick glimpse (staff seemed used to the problem).

'net bsod resources:
http://www.daimyo.org/bsod/

http://zem.squidly.org/bsod/

I read about a bsod.net too, but their site currently says

"Gone. Oh, not permanently, though. This page is the victim of a reinstall.
Check back soon. ".

Kind of ironic for a site likely to have the "bsod haiku" -

"Windows NT crashed. / I am the Blue Screen of Death, / No one hears your
screams."

And look forward to more if you're a gamer!  MS is chomping exclusive rights
to great games, so now as you culminate a morning of game play you can lose
your data to a bsod!  Excellent for family-run arcades!

New and interesting places to see the "Blue Screen of Death(tm)"

While driving through Jack In the Box on Sunday, I saw something that
made me giggle so hard that the Drive-Trhu attendant thought I was mad.
I pulled up to the ordering area, where they have one of those screens
to display your order. It just so happened that when I pulled up, there
was a blue text screen up displaying an error in ntoskrnl.dll at blah
memory address. The whole idea of that minimal task of displaying
people's orders would crash NT.

I'd like to see a thread of people telling where their most amusing
BSOD's have been seen. Original stuff please, I've seen the airport
flight listing terminal (But that was funny too!!).
