Inspired by the Computer names thread, it reminded me that is tipical geek activity to adorn the top of their monitor with various articles. For Example, I have a large fuzzy spider on top of my monitor, but I know some people have other things. Spider seen here: ( :love: ) ---

My monitor is kind of at the wrong angle to put anything on it. I have a monitor cleaner velcro-ed onto the shelf above it though… ---

I have a laptop, so nothing can really be placed on top of it 🙂 On my desktops at home, I don’t have anything over my monitor. I guess I can put a few magnets up top and play with the degauss feature haha. ---

[ot]Kman: Ha - I was having monitor troubles up untill recently, all sorts of strange problems were being caused, and I had no idea what was happening. I was degaussing 3 or 4 times a day, but nothing helped. That was, untill I realised that the problem was caused by a desk fan that I have that was disrupting the magnetic feild in the monitor :lol: I felt like an idiot after discovering that.[/ot] ---

Why do magnets always end up near the monitor? I had a friend once who’s monitor was really messed up, and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it, so I asked her “Is there a really big magnet sitting next to your monitor?” and she was like “OMGGGG how did you know?!” Seriously though, how do so many people get magnets by their computer? ---

I have a bunch of things on my monitors at work, homestar characters, happy meal toys, legos etc. At home I have one thing on one of my monitors - Selena: ![](http://userpages.umbc.edu/~tmccau1/images/selenahi.jpg) ---

I have 2 flat panels so not much fits on top of them. Back when I used to work at my old web design firm, I had two CRT’s and 2 Wobble Hula Girls and Goldberg the WWF wrestler were standing on top of them. All gifts from a friend. Well then one day someone flicking a penny across the room took one hula girls arm right off. From that day forward Goldberg held on it, with a look like he jsut ripped it off. ---
