Tonight, I pulled our computer desk away from the wall to investigate a funny noise emanating from one of our computers. I had known for a while that there was quite a bit of stuff under the desk, but I had avoided looking in detail because of the fearsome dust bunnies under there. However, since I had already pulled the desk out, tonight I decided to brave the dust bunnies and liberate all the stuff that had been under there. Here’s the list of items recovered:
- Creative Zen Nano Plus (MP3 Player)
- My old National City ATM card (Elizabeth likes to play with it)
- My old AOK Krankenkasse (HMO) card from Germany (see above)
- “Klear Kloth” Lint-free polishing cloth (in wrapper)
- A plastic ball (Elizabeth’s)
- A soft cloth ball that looks like a hacky-sack (ditto)
- A plastic donut (ditto)
- A rock Elizabeth brought in from the playground
- A penny
- Another penny
- A third penny
- A guitar slide
- A small barret
- A small container of Playdoh
- A huge Crayola marker
- A yellow highlighter
- A large Crayola crayon
- A small piece of a broken large Crayola crayon
- A hexagonal crayon of unknown origin
- A SD card holder
- A UConn Huskies baby bottle (missing lid)
- One stale teddy graham
- The lid to a marker of unknown whereabouts
- A card showing Noah’s ark (part of a children’s game)

While it was great to find all these things, I now have the onerous task of finding their correct locations. And, I still haven’t figured out exactly where that noise is coming from.
Thank you, Colin, for taking on the dust bunnies! And thanks for the thorough documentation of your findings.
this is great. I love this. (laughing hysterically over here in Pgh.)
