Remains of the old steam-powered internet? Whatever it is, I can easily imagine something tentacled and Lovecraftian crawling around in it.

St. Joseph - Patron Saint of Real Estate

Based on the circumstances surrounding them, some Saints become "patrons" of people, occupations, places or things. It's never been easier or more affordable to bring the power of a Patron Saint to your aid. Each 3-3/4" tall, hard plastic Saint comes with a 3" stand embossed with the Saint's name and a removable backdrop with the Saint's title, patronage and a prayer to help invoke the power of that Saint.

(From Archie McPhee.)
