Is there a bug is your system? If not, you can get one from artist Julie Alice Chappell. Her Etsy shop has several models of insects hand-crafted from old computer parts. Take, for example, this blue-winged butterfly.
The Sky Blue Winged Short Bodied Butterfly has been thoughtfully fabricated from circuit board components from inside obsolete computers and printers. Delicate circuit board patterns make his tiny wing veins and he is embellished with blue glass jewels as his eyes. He has a 12.5cm wingspam and his box frame measures 19cm squared. He is settle on a complimentary blue and pale cream symmetrical pattern. The art of upcycling, helping to raise awareness of e-waste in the environment.
There are only a few available, and each is a one-of-a-kind artwork. See the rest of them at Chappell’s Etsy store. -via Boing Boing

The very vivid, traumatic memories are usually the most fabricated over the years. Was a study done on people remembering their experience of 9/11, they wrote it down, and then were asked a few years later and told it very differently. Tis inteeeresting.
p.s. Talking about spotting a celebrity - I thought I saw Justin Bieber on chatroulette the other day! Now I am not so sure, and I may have misremembered it! He didn't seem keen chatting, musn't be his sort of person.
