The drone rock?

[s]battlenet[/s]Patch 1.10 for SC:BW has proven itself to be totally useless over and over again. However this time, a harmless but very entertaining bug has come to public knowledge.

Before beginning, I must quote XG3 from StarcraftLegacy (the source of this newspost): "In an effort to prove itself as the most versatile unit in the game, the Zerg Drone can not only mine resources, spawn buildings, attack, cloak, burrow, fly, go through all units, and crash the game...
It now has the amazing magical ability of producing gigantic rocks out of nowhere."
As some of you might remember, there is a bug crashing the game if you watch a drone building a hatchery while burrowing the drone. This bug builds on that very moment but it has to be done while not looking - otherwise you risk to crash your Starcraft.

First of all, get yourself a drone and research burrow. Build a hatchery anywhere on the map. As the drone is about to morph into the structure you simply burrow it. Thus, be very certain that you don't look at the drone while doing it, 'cause it will crash your game. As soon as you burrowed the drone, cancel the hatchery which should now be stuck on 125 health points. A bit over your drone, watch your new creation: the untouchable rock. (Untouchable? - Yes, units can pass through it normally, meaning it gives you no advantage at all in the game)
