WTF ---

stuff under the floor:
wildlife: common in TX, fireants/bees/arachnids in the vaults
cruft: the nite-shift dirty laundry (clothes & other stuff)
and my personal fave: worked in a shop w/ MGs and a flywheel/genset -in
        the machine room-. One of the power leads was not properly mounted
        and had to be repaired. The electrician did -not- remove all his
        rings (guess he was still junior) and was knocked out - called the
        EMTs and he was transported & revivied.  we found his finger (desicated)
        w/ the ring a year later when we pulled out the 3033's. 

not exactly under the floor:
        The most excitment was the bearings on the flywheel seizing up and 
        the flywheel tearing loose, punching a hole in the wall and into 
        the adjacent clean room. 

ah... the bad ol'days. :)
