I had a friend (who has more then a basic understand about computers), but usually looks to be for more advanced advice ask a question tonight that I couldn't answer.
"If you attach 2 IDE connectors to the motherboard and the other to the hard drive, can you fry your motherboard? Harddrive?"
I didn't know what to tell, him.. I figured anything was possible, but who would be dumb enough to do that (well he was doing a basic introduction to computer innards, and he "broke" a few machine so the students could work on it). Needless to say this was the result.
