I saw this list in saved in my computer. My classmate probably stored it in my hard drive a couple of days ago. She said she got it from a website but forgot where. Without further delay--Dun! Dun! Dun! The Lsit!!!


1) Because the physical harddrive is a conduit for a unique type of energy, it is possible for nature spirits called vaettir to take up residence within it.

2) Do not curse, yell, smack, or otherwise vent your anger on your computer. Most vaettir are extremely sensitive to emotions.

3) Emotions are energy and mixing incompatible energy fields can have bad results, culminating in the dreaded BSOD.

4) Do what you can to make the computer feel welcome into your home. This includes talking to it, naming it, and even offering it words of encouragement.

5) Cleanse your computer by sound. Either clap your hands around the computer or use a little rattle. A handful of coins in an old coffee can works just as well. The object is to break up stagnant energy.

6) Put unusual and pretty things for the vaettir's enjoyment. Pretty stones, crystals, feathers, intriguing pictures help create a positive environment

7) TURN THE COMPUTER OFF COMPLETELY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING MAGIC! I cannot emphasize this enough! I've had friends who've had their computers completely crash due to simple energy overload when they inadvertently left them on while doing spellwork.

Are these true? Or are they just a product of someone's weird mind? No one knows... o_O

no one knows? I sure know.... Not leaving your computer on 24/7 and defragmenting it once a year, and not installing programs/games that are too much for it, I'll run fine :)

If that's why computers crash, then I must have a few hundred of these spirits or whatever stuck in my hard drive.

*uses magnets to evade them, yay* there goes everything in the hard drive, along with them ^^;

I always found that the occasional bribery with promises of wild, hot, passionate computer love with various peripherials often does a computer good! ^_^

My computer is always really horny.

o_O!!!!

No wonder... that's why my computer crashed just now!!! o_O!!! I guess it really hated the song I was trying to play...

*creates a lot of noise and breaks up the stagnant energy*

There's always the sure fire cure of installing Linux. These vaettir mustn't be able to survive in a decent file system.

wow, superstition!

I seriously don't believe in emotions in computers, I mean like how can they have emotions? In the end, they are just machines.

damn, I just crashed!

Err... Are you sure you don't have the MSBlast worm that was going around the interweb lately?

This is trailing into confusion. As such, I think its time for a move.

I sometimes go up to my computer and start whispering to it, "worky worky." It works. Worky.

Vaettir? Bah. Everyone knows they're extinct.
