Similar fun story - I was working out how to embed jQuery into a Twiki site and how to do mouse-overs on content for some reason, no idea what any more. I needed some tests with different content. Our boss had just got a bulldog puppy that he was enamored with, so I found a gif of a bulldog puppy licking the camera, so it looked like it was licking the screen from inside it and used it as my test image.
I ended up making the front page panel of the new team twiki page where we had the team structure laid out a small random chance of showing the bulldog licking the screen in a full screen mouse-over, then I completely forgot I'd done it and went on vacation.
The boss was demoing the new site to the global team, with our MD there, and moused over it, triggering the screen licking gif, then moused off it and came back and it wouldn't retrigger and couldn't work out what had happened. It caused bit of a stir, but I was allowed to leave it in place with a very low chance of appearing.
