  Heh.  Seven or eight years ago I was changing disks around in a BA123.  I
had just finished doing something and went to the machine's console (a VT100)
to fire it up.  After I had typed the boot command I looked down and the
keyboard was covered in blood!  All over the white ledge at the front and
the black parts were sticky, too.  Turns out I had cut a small artery in one
of my fingers.  I left the blood there for a day or so in the hopes of freaking
out others who came into the machine room.  Alas Rick Macklem was the only
one who did and he likes "Pink Flamingos".
