What's the worst thing to drop into cold, unfermented wort..

Dropped two wooden clothes pegs into my Stout last night, they were supposed to be holding the thermometer and strainer in place (which also fell into the bucket). =D>

Still I dumped the wort straight onto the yeast slurry from the previous brew (Wyeast 1469 / Tim Taylor Landlord) and it's almost climbing out of the airlock now 18 hours later, I figure the yeast will win the battle for supremacy... hopefully! [-o<

An open bottle of Iodophor would be the worst thing in reasonable proximity to my fermenters I think...

Yeah, that might taint the flavour and impact on attenuation a little...
