If you died, what file(s) on your computer would most embarrass you?

I’ve grown to love asking Twitter all sorts of questions. I find the answers — which come from a cross section of humanity — to be refreshing and original.

You know that fear that you’ll someday die, and have dirty underwear on? Wait — you mean I’m the only one who worries about that? In any case, stay with me. I decided to see what little secrets people had on their computers that, if they were to die unexpectedly, that they were afraid the authorities would find. The highlights are below:

Joshgeeksix: I’ll start. CSI would find more than 100 Christmas mp3s, most of which have all been played numerous times in the past month.

MsLogica: The most embarrassing thing? Probably the awful James Bond fanfiction I wrote as a teenager..I’m still not that ashamed though!

thunt27: a couple Hentai movies.

Zombianca: They would find my collection of Fall Out Boy fanfics I have printed out because they were really well written.

Zeblue_Prime: Probably this – http://twitpic.com/fcob6

JesterJosh: The collection of celebrity look-a-like images I pulled from ratemypoop.com

DharmaBum35: Mine would be the filthiest, obsene & most depraved list of words that I use for my Hotmail Spam filter.

MandiMcG25: My collection of mint condition New Kids on the Block comic books from the late 80’s

ScotRadcliffe: I’d be embarrassed by the complete lack of activity. History consists of iPlayer, Twitter, & iGoogle

angelfly72: The most embarrassing thing CSI could find on my computer? A drawing I created of a superheroine on Marvel.com! Yes, I said it!

MsLogica: Gosh, my music collection! My not very secret love of disney’s stars will be discovered! Miley cyrus is in my most played list!

Yay for Christmas MP3s played in August! That is so not something to fear revealing. You rock, Josh.

And yet, I must confess to both 1) playing Christmas music in my car all summer, and 2) doing so only when the top is up, and turning down the sound at stop lights where others might hear….

Probably the most disturbing pics I have on my computer at the moment are of me in the Slave Leia costume licking a light saber and pretending to slurp up the inside of a jello-mold brain.

I so did not just admit to that….

OK, I misspelled “lightsaber.” I really need to give up typing for the day.

She’s not lying. I have the pictures. And multiple copies. For a price…

Yeah, I’m a sucker for Christmas music; I can’t help it!

I’m also a sucker for blackmail-worthy pictures of people in gold bikinis. Jason.

Well, for most guys, if they’re honest, it would be all the porn…so much porn…
