I had a particular fright when I was working alone in the [company]
datacenter one night.  If you picture the scene... it's late, the lights
are dim, it's just the mainframes and cabinets chattering away, and I'm
concentrating on trying to sort out this recalcitrant sun box

Suddenly I feel something pulling my head backwards...

I -know- there's nobody there... I think...

Turns out that the fans on the back of that row of IBM gear were just
strong enough to grab onto my hair. Gah!

cheers!
