Of course, those wires each have two ends. They have to go somewhere! Hell there's no telling what else is back there too? Bones of a sysadmin from years past?

I thought that previous picture was bad, reminded me of some of our data centers, bu this one is mindblowing. How the hell can anyone allow it to reach that level?
