When I was in my early teens I wrote a worm for HyperCard on the Mac (it did nothing but spread. No messages or anything). In my infinite wisdom, I thought the ideal way to put my mark on history was to post it to Usenet to spread it... Of course, nearly all news servers filtered out binaries from discussion groups, so I assumed nobody ever saw it.
Years and years later, I was poking through the virus definition files for a Mac antivirus to see how they worked, and lo and behold - there was the HyperTalk source code for my worm, verbatim in the antivirus definition file... I guess someone did end up seeing it in the end... sorry for wasting someone's time!
