calls a "useless ornament" which is 16x8px instead of the usual
16x16px you'd get from a guardian (plus it's harmless). I've used that
several times already. The other option is a switch which goes on and
off constantly while Willy is touching it. While this isn't
particularly useful, I could imagine using it for graphical effects in
the future...?
