Bizarre help desk questions we just can't answer

28.07.2006
Computerworld.com has a "Help Desk" e-mail submission page for readers to report site problems or ask questions about how the site works. Some readers, however, find more creative ways to use this feature, ignoring our plea that states: "This area is specific only to the Computerworld Web site, so please do not use it as a help resource for general Web-related problems."

Below are some of our favorites, exactly as they were received, with only identifying information removed. The, um, creative spelling, has been left intact, giving you a good idea of the kinds of queries real IT help desk staffers get.
