We had a server getting a DDoS, and while tracking down the source, we noticed the load average getting rather high. We use a throttling mechanism that basically invalidates the load average, so this is by no means accurate. It's still funny to see:
21:06:37 up 2 days, 2:35, 6 users, load average: 19195.46, 9661.52, 4013.18
