Things I'm Pretty Sure Don't Decompose That I Fear May Take Over The World

* Those little nylon thingys that attach price tags to clothing
* Dental floss
* Perfectly preserved baby poop inside of disposable diapers in landfills 
* Twisty ties
* Plastic bottle caps
* Hair
* Old sneakers
* Twinkies
* Window caulk
* 8track and other various video and audio tapes, as well as the cases they aren't necessarily confined to
* Dwarf bread, which is mythical in nature, but just the idea of a food that is forged rather than grown or baked has potential for nightmare fodder
* Lost and discarded cell phones
* The zipper portion of ziploc bags
* Pantyhose

Add polyester quilt batting to the list. Some inadvertently ended up in my pile after the wind shredded a quilt covering the tomatoes. (For those unaware, covering tomatoes at night extends the growing season a good two weeks.) I'm still digging pieces of white fluff out of the garden.

Birds enjoy that stuff for nesting material! And I saw a squirrel digging some out of a lounge chair pad next door. Not sure what he was going to do with it but watching him was very entertaining.
