Can you describe the dirt sir?
I think it is a big deal, because one day
it will fall down and waft oh so gently into
your cup of coffee. Where upon you will
drink this dirt and it will infect you with
its infectious infectiousness.
Dirt on your ceiling is one of the signs.
Mostly it is a sign you cannot clean.
If it is not a big deal then maybe you live
in cave, and thus all your walls and floors
and ceilings are made of dirt.
But I digress.
Continuing on, I have to wonder why you
don't get a ladder and climb up to clean it
off with warm soapy water. Or, possibly get
a long mop-like tool with which you can reach
up on high and clean the dirt off your ceiling.
In this case, I feel it is a big deal.
When was the first time you noticed all
this dirt? Wait... is it a lot of dirt, or
just a little spec of dirt? Because if it
is a lot of dirt, you may have to do something
a bit more drastic, like covering all of your
furniture with sheets. If it is just a little
bit of dirt, perhaps you can just ignore it.
This last notion, that of ignoring the dirt,
may unjustly rule out a lot of fun to be had
with this dirt on your ceiling. For example:
o you could make a game out of looking at the
dirt, and imagining all the funny shapes it
makes (like looking at a >puffy white cloud<
in a blue sky).
o you could get a group of gamers together
and pass out drinking straws. These straws
would be utilized as weapons -- specifically,
spit-ball launchers. Your gang of deviants
armed with their spit-ball launchers could
first chew up bits of news paper making
small pellets of ammunition. Then, all could
take turns shooting their spit balls at the
dirt on your ceiling in an attempt to knock
it down. Or clear it out, as the case may be.
This game should be used if you think the
dirt is a big deal, and you want help cleaning
it off.
o if you think the dirt on your ceiling is
not a big deal, then you may consider adding
to it. Adding to it (the method of addition,
the type of dirt to be added, when to add it)
may be a sub-problem in and of itself. But
let's continue on as if you know how to add
to the dirt on your ceiling. Well, in that
case, there are two main lines you need to
analyze. Do you want to do this all by yourself,
or do you want to share the task with a group?
Each of these ways has its own particular pros
and cons to be considered. Anyways, bringing
this to a close, it would be fun to add to the
dirt on your ceiling if you think it will help
your cause.
Let's move away from games for the moment.
What are the larger sociological implications
of having dirt on your ceiling? Could it be
that the appearance of this dirt was exogenous
in nature, and that your way of life is under
attack. You know what, I don't care. But, I
have to add if the >youth-culture< thinks having
dirt on their ceilings is hip/cool/chic' then
we may be seeing a lot more dirt on people's
ceilings. Having said this do you remember
we live in a capitalistic society. In our
society, intellectual property rights have teeth.
Do you believe you should personally gain from
the idea that having dirt on your ceiling is cool?
If so, how are you going to protect your rights?
And, to what extent (specifically financial) will
you go to protect this right? Now, I have to add
here I do not even know if it is possible for
you to claim this fantastically cool idea of
dirt on your ceiling for personal financial gain.
But it is interesting, and worth making a few
phone calls.
I think the dirt on your ceiling is not a
big deal as long as you deal with it in a
timely manner. If you let the problem persist,
it could go away, or it could cause you larger
troubles in the future.
Finally, clean your ceiling. That is all . . .

if by Earthen Overlords, you mean termites....maybe.
Termites can leave termite mud on ceilings (happened to me). The coloration, composition and location of the dirt can help determine if this is serious or if you just have mysterious migratory cobweb type dirt.
Edit: I don't mean to alarm you - I'm just paranoid - and I dislike insects.

Not sure how the dirt got there, but it's there. Should I get it down? Could it spread? Would you suggest a mop, or perhaps a power washer?
Doesn't matter. I'm never coming to your house. :) Although one might to check to see if the upstairs lodger is trying to recruit pilots for his stranded timeship. But don't go up there unless you're a determined homebody.

So do liberals or conservatives dance on ceilings? Is that how the dirt got there? Do libertarians dance on the ceiling, as long as no one else knows, cause if you have a blindfold on, no one else can see you? What about the Tea party? Personally I can't imagine them dancing, let alone on the ceiling?
