Walked into a client's server room and found a full fishtank on top of the rack

I was doing a site visit for a small law firm in Austin last month and their IT guy proudly showed me his 20 gallon community tank sitting right on the UPS units. Has anyone else run into random non-IT stuff stored in server rooms like that?

Used to roll my eyes at server room pets but that sounds kind of awesome now.

Saw a full on office kitchen setup in a server closet once. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, everything. The fridge was literally humming against the main switch panel. Guy said he liked the white noise from the servers while he made his lunch.
