Ha! I have a friend whose husband is a group leader in the USand he walked into the office one day and saw one of his PhD students, who immediately stood in front of something taped to the wall (not suspicious, no no).
Turns out it was a 'Boss Mood Indicator', with DEFCON-like levels, and (since they are comp-sci students) 'triggers' for transition from level to level, such as 'grant rejected', 'good experimental results' etc.
Naturally, his wife wanted to get an update on the mood indicator... :)
