What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I just went into the master bedroom where she is watching tv, sat in the corner chair like it was a family meeting. She muted the tv so I told her this joke. looking at the floor while delivering the punch line.

Yeah, supposedly a snail told that joke on a guy's doorstep. The guy threw him a good 100 feet away.
5 years later there is a knock on the door. He looks down and see's the snail who says:
"Hey! What the hell was that about?!"

I'm hoping someone here has experience with firmware that controls microwave ovens. The ironically named Frigidaire Gallery, if I want to be fussy.
Every so often the countdown goes 3...2...1...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
I'm trying to think how on earth
a) this can happen (and happen randomly), and
b) why 7.
I did try (as I always do) to open the door at exactly 0. Because deep down I'm still 5 years old. Maybe that's triggering some odd logic? A capacitor not fully discharged? A power spike? A hidden Easter Egg?
Anyone?

Maybe it was written by the same developer that does the time estimates for Windows Update? (or worse - Apple patches)

While the estimates can be way of, I have defended the way it worked. I prefer it over the W10 version where they iterate over all files first for their sizes to give a "better" estimate.

Except there it's in reverse:
100% complete...
(5 minutes later)
11% complete...

3..2..1..7 no 0? or 8? does it start from 3 is it a LCD or LED display as my first thought was LED the two out bars (a,b in seven segment parlance) had died but they appear to be used in 2 & 5, when it does this is 0 displayed as 1 appear to go to 7? I have seen something like this with a Automated Meter Reading unit. That was down to an Atmel getting upset by an ignition coil near by (an issue if it's supposed to be mounted in a truck to collect meter readings...

It's not a display issue.
It's just...odd.
