I heard a story (probably apocryphal) about some NOC monkeys that got fed
up with the shutter routine - so they cobbled up some little X programs
to start putting BIG FLASHING RED BOXES with ominous-looking text, and
launched it when the Big Boss was showing off the zoo animals - they then
feigned panic, screamed, and ran out of the room, leaving all the flashing
red boxes on the screens.

They only had to do it a few times before the Big Boss clued in... ;)

        The Violent Femmes' "Dance, Mother Fucker, Dance" (for those
        who don't know, it's a song) is a good deterrent too.  I sure
        am glad I'm not a monkey anymore.  *grin*
