Yeah, noticed after posting.

So...I just had a neat little experience.  I searched for 'Gigideath' on
Google (in Seamonkey with NoScript), hit the first link (a MySpace profile),
saw a partially loaded page and then had my WinXP GUI completely lock-up,
mouse and all.  After a hard-reboot and a full AV and ARk scan, I tried it
in Firefox with no problem; the culprit was apparently a ani-gif background.

The punchline, of course, being that you could say that I had a gigideath of
my own.

...if you really wanted to.  Cheers.
