So last night, I take my BRIAN figure to work and while I am working as a data collectorf, trying to get people to complete the survey, I talk to it, telling it to wish me luck. Half way through the first shift, I'm in the middle of this interview with an old woman and all of a sudden, the computer says "working," meaning it's thinking. So I tell the woman that it may be a few minutes and she then tells me that she has to go and I tell her we'll call her back. My boss then lets me and everyone else go home early because there are problems going on. When I come back for the second shift two and a half hours later, my computer is still "working."

Tonight, I go to work, and again in the middle of an interview, the computer says "working" again. So I tell the woman I am interviewing that it may be a minute or two, and she says it's no problem. Then five minutes later, the screen says "fatal error: infinite loop detected. Press any key to continue." When I do, it boots me out of the system! Tonight, I had both the HOWIE and BRIAN figurines on my desk when the computer fritzed on me. So I am convinced. Those amulets are bad news. =)
