Nothing gives me an uneasy feeling more so than hovering over some UI element that starts agitating and shaking like it's about to explode...similar to that scene in the movie **Aliens** where the alien bursts out of some poor schmuck's chest. If you haven't seen it and can stomach some alien exploding out action, you should watch that movie immediately. Anyway, I digress...
