I love finding electronics full of pee.My stash of Pentium 3/4 motherboards were in a shipping crate in the basement. The resident border collie here kept having accidents in the living room. eventually they did enough of a number on the floorboards and the pee made its way into the basement, right into that crate of Pentium boards.

When it was too late to realize, I went in there looking for some blank RDRAM sticks, and voila, everything was ruined. Now that dog lives in the kitchen (which there is nothing underground under, and also has linoleum flooring...)

Few things around the house are more corrosive than cat pee. I haven't had it happen often, but I did once have a cat who would pee in specific places as his way of informing me that the litter box was not up to his standards. Once or twice it happened to a box with electronics in it, thankfully nothing too valuable because it looked like the result of a PRAM battery explosion. Yuck!
