Default The Last Cool Thing to Happen to You

I thought it'd be cool to here some cool things that have happened/going to happen to the members of tech forums.

Mine was today actually, went on Steam to purchase Team Fortress 2 and it was a whopping 4.8Gb, but fortunately for me my internet has started doing something it did about 2 years ago, it occasionally has a massive increase in speed for just 3 or 4 seconds. Team Fortress 2 went from 0 - 28Percent, then to 69, then to 100 in like 3 seconds. I don't even know how quick download rate that must of been, never the less extremely cool.Any of you guys experienced this ? I can only find one other person this has happened to on the internet.

Anyway, submit your cool experiences.

If you want to mine coal, you can have one big welshman with a huge pickaxe, but lots and lots of mexican children with spoons will get you more coal.
