This isn't really new, I have been showing people this for a long time :)
Go into xStat and hit F1 once the garbage is in there for some crazy results
:P
I am not sure why this happens, but there is some text document floating
around somewhere about it on ticalc.

Try this one:
A=e (the ee button)
eg>st(A,A)->A
sub(A,2,1)->A
st>eq(A,A)->A
" "->B
eq>st(A,A)->A

Now check your memroy. It goes totally nuts. This is becuase B follows A in
memory, and it overflows in to it :)
