Encounter at Nearpoint

in African Grey Parrot

The other day I walked out of the room where my laptop is for a little while, and when I came back there was some weird alien thing on the screen waving its tentacles (fronds?) around.

What's on my computer screen?

Alien meets Ezines.

It looks pretty cool in the video with the little tentacles in motion.

Kind of reminds me of the aliens waving their 'tentacles' on the first Star Trek the Next Generation episode, "Encounter at Farpoint".

Of course, if you were listening to the background sounds in the video, you probably already know what the little alien is.

Static electricity + bird fluff = ALIEN on computer screen.

Yep, my silly parrot was preening and some of the fluff drifted down onto the computer screen and stuck there.  The cooling fans on the laptop made the little "tentacles" wave around in the air.

But I still think it was a fun looking little "alien." 
(It doesn't take much to entertain me, ha, ha!)
