Odd media player behaviour

This should be impossible. I left the computer playing mp3s in media
player, and locked it (to the XP login screen). A macaw removed two
of the keys from the numeric keypad, and managed to stop the media
player while it was locked. I don't have a multimedia keyboard. All
I can think of is that the multimedia controls are actually weird
combinations of key depressions. To further confuse matters, the USB
modem disconnected my broadband at the same time.

Gardening Rule:
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of theground easily, it is a valuable plant.

WTF?!

Why are you using USB to connect with the internet?

Get thee to an Ethernet, young man!
