I've already eaten my "prawn" collection. 

I leeched my "pr0n" collection off a hard drive I scavenged from aaron's
trash can...

To bad it was from an _amiga_ and it was all ASCII pr0n!

Any prawns recovered from a trash pile are probably inedible.

On a serious side, I know several situations where data recovery from a
dead hard drive would be problem. HIPAA and my doctor clients come to
mind immediately.
