Sure they would.... if the computer was better built then them, then it
would break their head. If it was built worse than them, their head would
only sustain minor damage!!!

Naturally not, they'd be too busy limping around howling.

Seeing how it was me that Dan managed to drop it I can agree to
the limping, and ironically enough it's the same foot that I had broken 3
times in the month before he crushed it. And just yesterday hauling a pc
down to our storagge office on the 5th floor I tripped and fell down the
steps and have just re-broken that very same ankle. Computers are
hazerdous to your health. =+)

If you drop it on my toes, I'd notice. But if it's aimed at my head...
(In either case, I'd claim it for my own.)
