My computer is talking to me

So I was debugging one of my programs currently segmentation faulting, and I think my computer is talking to me:

rowPointers[22] points to DEADBEEF

This was suddenly followed by the urge to eat a beef taco.

Anyone else have anything weird ever shown up in your debugging/running a program?
That's one of the Magic Debug Values, which are inserted to make debugging easier. Quite often to see as well, 0xCDCDCDCD or 0xFEEEFEEE

Once I had a debugger print off the contents of all the data in this hash I had. It was an interpreter and was filled with chars.
Upon displaying the contents, a series of letters seemed to have formed the words "quebec", "canada", "go there for healthcare".
Then I remembered that the program was reading a file full of unreliable ads to display in web browsers.
Immediately upon this realization, my nipples burst into flames and my computer swore obscenities, took a cab, and went to Mexico.

I'm that imaginary number in the parabola of life.
