There's a person (or group?) who calls him/itself Wocka Flocka Flame. And it's not even muppet-related as far as I can tell.

I use the pause/break key all the time. Mostly because I'm a [expletive] programmer. But like AD said, I have no clue what the scroll lock key does.

I had an accounting program that did weird stuff so I would type in different file names to see what they executed and if the information went by too fast on the screen I could press scroll lock and it would stop so I would be able to read what was there. Then pressing any key would resume the insanity.

If you accidentally turn scroll lock on in excel, you'll forever remember what it does.

Same, but at work. So I used my phone.

It seems there are some massive reasons to believe ComicCon would be a good time.
