Me: "What's that mate?" (to my 4 year old)
Son: "Your computer....they're stuck."
Me: "Oh, shall we go take a look?"
Son: "I'm worried you'll be cross, they are stuck in your black box too"
Me: "You put them in the subwoofer ports again?"
Son: "erm"
Me: "Lets have a loo... For the love of..."

Transformers are now inside my PC. Optimus prime is laying on my GFX card and has stopped the CPU fan. Idle temps.....oh it's locked up. No **** sherlock. Must remember to lock that side panel next time. Over to the subwoofer. Look down the port tubes and can't see anything. Yep, he's pushed said toy right down and inside.

I love my kid.

My 1 year old likes pushing my tweeters inside out, ejecting the playstation, drooling over electronic items, pulling the wii off the shelf onto the floor, making a camp under the computer desk pulling cables from my router, playing "lets drum" on the lcd and going through drawers full of dangerous objects I do my best to hide.

UPDATE:

Optimus has been removed. Bumble bee was soaking up the UV rays in there too in between hard disks. Computer booted fine and idle temps back down.

Subwoofer now rattles. Joy.

Where's he hid Mikaela?

Hopefully in my bed?

Just to revive this thread since it was popular, I found the picture I took of the contents of my subwoofer. i.e. The toys that entered via the sub ports...

Yes that is a tea strainer, a hannah montana kareoke mic and a thread amongst other things.
