One time my wife put a cushion down on top of the keyboard. Next morning
there was a beeping noise as the keyboard was transmitting space
characters all night long and after waking up it was stuck on a boot
message and beeping for a few hours until I finally removed the pillow,
then it continued with the boot process.
