Dock Lawn
I found this at <a href="http://www.xicons.com"; target="_blank">xicons.com</a> yesterday. It is a set of icons (and the means by which to make your own icons) that make your dock look like it has grass growing in it. This is how it looks on my computer:
(there is supposed to be a picture here, but it's not working, here's a link to it instead: <a href="http://www.geocities.com/nfaidrive/docklawn.jpg"; target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/nfaidrive/docklawn.jpg</a>; if it tells you that the page can't be viewed for some reason, it's lying, just click "go" and it should work.)
The icon set's page is <a href="http://xicons.macnn.com/view.php?id=382"; target="_blank">here</a>
Frankly, I was just so amused by this that I had to share.

The effect is done by adding the grass to each icon. Therefore, unless I added the grass effect to (practically) every icon on my computer, opening apps and minimizing windows would interupt the effect. So to avoid that I ended the grass at the last icon that resides permanently in the dock, so any apps I open or windows I minimize are simply separate from the "lawn." And the finder icon has no grass 'cause I didn't feel like playing with my system icons.
