I think that the strangest item I 'own' is probably ME :roll:

a telephone.
That's been broken for about 248395067093455 years.
That is now a decoration in my room.
(I found it in a bag waiting to go to the dustbin a few weeks ago, where my mum'd been throwing out old stuff in our house. It's pretty :3)
Mum said she's going to throw it out at the first chance she gets, but I like it :D

Otherwise, I'd have to say a group of 4 or 5 pens my mum bought me. They're biros, but the outsides are rubber insects and animals o.o
Like, the casing on the pen. There's a snake, a scorpion, some other nasty bug thingies. the body of the bud protrudes off the end of the pen.

I'll have to take a photo of some of them and post it so you all understand :lol:

I think for me it would be my animal skull. I'm not sure what animal it is from, it's pretty small. I got it about four years ago from a guy at school who dug it up in his backyard. I told him how much I liked it, and even though we weren't friends he gave it to me. I think it might be a rabbit skull. I have a bunny now, and it seems very similar. I have it in a box somewhere. I also have a strange rounded ring off some kind of bone that I found on a walk once. it's pretty neat. sadly it's too big to wear as a ring and too small to wear as a bracelet. I don't like those anyway, so maybe I'll make it into a necklace. :)

I have a poster size caricature that someone drew of my father when he played rugby. My dad gave it to me the morning he moved out of our house.

I have a tin, navy blue board with a thin white frame - like the ones on which the names of streets are written. But there is a name of the street of my name written - like, let's pretend for a moment my name is Mary Smith, and what is written on the board is: "M. Smith Street". I won this gadget in a text message contest 6 years ago and you could chose the name of the street you wanted to have on it. So I choose the street named after me :D This monument of my megalomania :twisted: is hanging in my room. I don't have anything else which would be that weird - though when in high school my friend visited me, she burst into laughter when she saw on my shelf a booklet entitled: "Hemmroids and other diseases of an anus" :lol:

That's the Gustav gun (technically, Schwerer Gustav, or Heavy Gustav, for obvious reasons). It was built for Germany in WWII; actually, three were scheduled to be made, although only two were made (Gustav and Dora). Langer Gustav (which would have been able to hit London) was damaged during construction and was never finished. In the same line, they wanted to build Monster, which would have been bigger and self propelled, but it wasn't realistic, so they never tried.

The sad thing is that I knew that without looking it up (I checked before I hit submit just to make sure I was right, but I was). The moment I saw that picture, I was like Gustav!

Anyway, strangest thing I own:

I don't really own many strange things, I guess. I suppose a couple of newspaper articles about my great-uncle's murder trial (he was the defendant, not the murdered person) might count, as well as a three to four foot dreamcatcher, but I don't consider those too weird.

A small figure of a pig with panties on its head. It's a Dragonball Z character.

The funny thing is, I didn't order it; it came free of charge as an extra "gift" with the figure of Asuka from Evangelion I ordered. :lol:
