Y'know, I did something similar to my stepdad when I was living with my parents. Using Gimp, I took a screenshot of the desktop, set the image to be the desktop. Then move all the icons on the desktop to a new position, take another screenshot and set it again as the desktop background. (This works best if you set it so your icons do no Align To Grid.) Rinse and repeat like 50 times. Each time, a new set of pictures of icons that don't work will be on the desktop, along with a little inert taskbar on the bottom. (Initially, covered by the real taskbar). When all finished, move all the real icons off the desktop and minimize the size of the taskbar and shift it to one of the sides of the screen.
The result is that it looks like there are a huge number of icons on the desktop and yet none of them work. Also, there will be a little taskbar at the bottom that does nothing. Took them forever to figure that one out =)
While you are knocking Neville Chamberlain, you should consider what Churchill had to say in 1939. It's an interesting passage we could never say about our current situation in the Middle East:
In this solemn hour it is a consolation to recall and to dwell upon our repeated efforts for peace. All have been ill-starred, but all have been faithful and sincere. This is of the highest moral value--and not only moral value, but practical value--at the present time, because the wholehearted concurrence of scores of millions of men and women, whose co-operation is indispensable and whose comradeship and brotherhood are indispensable, is the only foundation upon which the trial and tribulation of modern war can be endured and surmounted. This moral conviction alone affords that ever-fresh resilience which renews the strength and energy of people in long, doubtful and dark days. Outside, the storms of war may blow and the lands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own hearts this Sunday morning there is peace. Our hands may be active, but our consciences are at rest.
The short of it is : in the long hard days of war, you need to know you exausted *every* opportunity for peace.

From Churchill speeches.
she's Dunn.
The remake of The Bard's Tale had a couple good laughs, and Destroy All Humans was funny at times. I would classify both as comedies.
