I would recommend AGAINST clicking this if you're on Windows, but --> http://www.milw0rm.com/sploits/KERNELBLUE.ani

That's pretty amazing that an animated cursor can cause a Kernel crash :)

Can you recover from it?

Amazing? The key word is sad.

to recover, you have to reboot.  It's a Kernel crash.  Also, it automatically laods cursors when you open the directory, so you have to delete it from commandline if you download it.
