I accidentally plugged my mouse in wrong, and won a contest: I accidentally plugged my USB mouse into my eSata port... it works? Cool right? Thanks SuperUser!

    Well don't shy away from asking any questions that are not related to sticking cables in places they might not belong!

I thought this was too funny to not share with everyone...

My t-shirt and stickers have arrived (thanks btw!). Along with an interesting post-it note:
Stack Exchange stickers with interesting post-it note

And here's a close-up:
Interesting post-it note close up

It's a proper post-it type note as well, with a little sticky across the top of the back. The ink has seeped through it a little. Nothing else in here to explain why it's there, just shows the humour of the SE team, I guess, which is great.

I think I shall make it my gravatar, at least for a while. :)
