I once visited a site (OK, it was really just someone elses house,
<whine>but everyone else gets to visit "sites"</whine>), where all sorts
of things had tacks in them.  Speaker cables, network cables, etc.  Then I
visited the restroom, and was truly scared.  Numerous power cords with
tacks in them.  Won't spend the night there anytime soon.
