Back in school, I made a batch file that would open Chrome on loop and there was no way of stopping the script as it would open Chrome quicker than you could close the CMD window as it always focused on the new Chrome instance.

Then I put it on the desktop of some my class mates, changed the file icon to the Chrome logo and named it Google Chrome. Even pinned it to the taskbar. Then sat back and watched the carnage ensue as even the teacher didn't know how to stop it.

It normally ended with the computer freezing when it ran out of RAM and getting powered off and on for it to only happen again when they tried to start Chrome again. Oh the good times...
