I went scrounging a few days ago and opened up a
junction box and found
a set of wire leads with the mini-grabbers and a plastic wire frame from a
HP logic analyzer that someone had left inside. Wahoo! These always come in
handy! I've previously found screwdrivers, knives, various plugs,
connectors and gender menders. But I got to wondering what is the strangest
thing that anyone has ever found inside a computer or similar piece of
electronics gear.

Well, the most _depressing_ strange thing I have found in a computer
recently is a PC-compatible motherboard. No, just kidding there. I have a
very mouse-ridden garage and recently pulled in a case from the garage to
use for something. I found a whole lot of mouse droppings inside it. Mice
in computers is a very bad thing. I've known the mouse urine and damage to
total out a whole office full of computers. Thankfully all I have out in
the garage are pc clones and junk like that. With six cats in the house,
it isn't likely any of my 'good' stuff is going to turn into a hotel for
rodents.
