Did see someone who was silly enough to put a full box of them on the top of an IBM mainframe printer, end up with a tad of a bad hair day when the printer ran out of paper and did its usual thing, automatically raise the cover with loud whirring of the drive motor. He desperately tried to get to the printer in time, and failed. It was data too, so impossible to put them back in order again.
