There is a sewer help team on call 24/7 who you can call on if you drop something down into the sewers - so, if you should drop your keys into the wastewater system les egoutiers will drive over and retrieve them. In the museum there is a film of this happening, a lucky lady got her keys handed back to her fresh from the sewers without them being washed... |

The bonnacon was a mythical mediaevel beast which... oh hell, I'll just let Pliny explain:
Quote: | It has the mane of a horse but otherwise resembles a bull. It has horns that curve back so they are useless for fighting; when attacked, it runs away, while releasing a trail of dung that can cover three furlongs. Contact with the dung burns pursuers as though they had touched fire. |
