This is why you should never eat at your desk - especially if you are a messy eater. :-D

Half a century ago, a customer of ours rang up to complain that his line printer kept blowing mains fuses at switchon. He'd gone through a box of 10.... Se we send a service guy out to have a look. Took the covers off, one very dead and somewhat charred mouse across the contacts of the power switch. Long before any of us had a mouse on the desk.

Never. In that office, there were strict EHS (must be Envi Health Safety, from what i remember) rules not to eat anything in the office area. No eatables to be consumed in office area. In spite of that, the mouse came.

Perhaps if the one who found a dead moth in the circuitry and called it a 'bug', had found a charred mouse instead, we would now have completely different terminology for bug and mouse.

While living at Grand Canyon YES in the Park we lost power one morning No thunder storms quite the chaotic situation for a bunch of people who wanted to return to a natural life style we had a lot of tree huggers APS had a local lineman that lived in the park he was tracing lines The Fred Harvey company that ran the hotels had a electrician who did things the old fashion way experience had taught him a lot He went to the main junction box and found a electrified Marmot streched between to high power contacts electrocuted Don't ask me about the water line issue My friend Bruce Akin lived at Roaring Springs and kept the pumps running this job has seance been retired. Now they just wait for it to break and do half a$$ patch jobs. My tax dollars at non work

Our building of 150 people lost all power in the middle of work day. An anola lizard (common in TX), just a little piece of flesh, shorted the main switch. Amazing. When we learned the failure was just our shop and since about 1/2 of people were engineers, did not take us long to find and fix it.
