        Ten or 15 years ago, a group of us designing stuff with
microprocessors were on break behind the building when we watched a trash
truck pick up and dump a dumpster.  We theorized that a processor based
garbage truck would dump the garbage on the cab during a watchdog
timeout.  Sorta similar to the processor based flashlight with three
buttons:  on, off, and reset.
