So netscape was dying on me today (and sucking the machine with it, so I go to kill it, just like I would any other day (and do, quite frequently). When I go to list its process, I'm greeted with:
 
eric 666 70.9 36.7 30832 23184 ? R 14:13 19:21 netscape
 
whoah. that's freaky.

For those of you who don't know UNIX, that means netscape (which was consuming 70.9% cpu and 36.7% of memory) had a process id of 666. Nothing extrordinary, just kind of ironic that a crashing process would have that pid.
