Possible navel fluff? It's either navel fluff, or it's not. Unless, navel fluff is optional, in which case I need to know how much more effective the witch bottle is WITH navel fluff before I decide if I really want to go digging around in there.

The peak of our roof (and several other old rooves around here) has the bottom of a bottle cemented in. The locals shrug and look embarrassed. One day, I'll get a ladder and see if it's a whole bottle, or what. I'd hate to miss out on some 400 year old bent nails and pee.

More coolness.
