This brings back memories… climbing at Mt Arapiles, near the top-out about 30m off the ground I came across a crack very like this, with an odd white spot deep inside. Got closer to look, and realised it was a teeny tiny pair of fangs… unforgettable moment.
A small, scared bat showing off its fangs.

Kids were complaining that their gaming laptop was getting a bit sluggish… 😳🤢
A solid wall of accumulated dust. Somewhere underneath it is a laptop cooling fan.

Quote from Terry Pratchett’s “Soul Music”: Rats had featured largely in the history of Ankh-Morpork. Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats—and then people were suddenly queing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”
