I was browsing through some recently deleted questions, and found this one:

What is your most spectacular or interesting death of a computing device?

What is your most spectacular or interesting death of a computing device? ...

Now, the post was already closed, and marked as community wiki, but I'm bringing this up because I've seen a few humorous questions in the past, and didn't see this one as particularly harmful. Now, I understand we're trying to clean up Super User, but should questions like this really be removed from the site? I'm just placing this here as a question to see if anyone else shares my viewpoint, especially because similar questionsquestions exist on otherother StackExchangeStackExchange sites, and I think they bring back a sense of "community" (and keep the overall atmosphere a bit less tense).

I'm not saying we need to allow a million of these questions, but they are far and few on this site, and even if new ones are posted, it's usually possible to flag it off as a duplicate of another one. Also, these questions are usually set as community wiki anyways (I know that's not it's primary purpose, but it does overcome gaining reputation from these types of questions).

Thoughts?
