Deafened Chinchillas

In my many years of programming I have, as has just about everyone else I know, cocked things up on occasion.

The biggest mistakes come with that flushed, red-faced sort of feeling. But everything I've done in the past has been rectified with minimum impact: be it knocking up a quick database script to fix mucked up data or a humble apologetic phone call to a client informing them of the best course of action.

But at least I've never caused multiple explosions or deafened a bunch of chinchillas.

Puts everything in perspective really doesn't it?
