We once had a POS system in Mackay that kept on getting disk corruption. 
Eventually they put in a UPS which fixed the problem. The root cause 
however was found when the first power bill came in (the store and the 
shopping centre were new), the manager got a major shock and called an 
electrician in. It turned out that the cafe next door had been 
accidentally(?) been wired through the stores power board including a 
deep fryer and ovens.

I spent a lot of time aboard Sunstate flights over that one.
