Deep blue

Deep Blue was a computer that played chess, and it played chess well.

Dick Cheney saw this as a threat, since he may or may not have played chess at some point in his life, and secretly had his spies kidnap the computer in the middle of the night on January 6, 2006.

On February 11, 2006, Harry Whittington informed Cheney that, since Deep Blue was a computer and thus an inanimate object, it had actually been stolen and not kidnapped. Cheney responded by shooting him in the face, neck and torso.
