In these days of cyber warfare and the vulnerability of computer systems, it is touching (read worrying) that the UK Ministry of Defence computers crashed when a group of soldiers in Iraq made a home video that spoofed the hit "Amarillo". They emailed the video to friends in the army, and it proved so popular that the whole MOD system crashed. :?
