OK, so some people around here work with LCDs...

We've got a laptop at work with a cracked screen. Around where the crack 
is, the pixels are all black. Which isn't surprising. Slightly more 
interesting is the red vertical lines that seem to extend vertically 
outwards from the cracks. Why red? Why every other pixel? Why vertical? 
I have no idea.

What's weirder still is that close to the cracks, the dead pixels 
exhibit a curiously fractal pattern. It looks like some kind of weird 
pixellated plant growth or something. Does anybody have any idea why?

(I've got photographs, but I'd have to find something that has Bluetooth 
in order to get them off my phone...)
