The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc. (stock: NOVL), IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

I'm surprised the thing didn't overheat and explode.

I think whoever planned that little venture WAS the bowl of stupid that morning. I can't beleive the server stayed operational all that time without any issues...I guess that rules out the possibility of it being a Windows server.
