Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

Mementoes...I have a fulgarite, which is what is found on a beach after a lightning strike on sand. It was formed way back in the 70's when my family was on holidays at the beach, and a summer storm hit. My dad ran out and marked where the lightning had hit with a stick, then went back out and dug it up when the storm (and the vicious lightning) had passed. It is a weird looking thing, but not as weird as a memento my mate John has - a coprolite, which is essentially a fossilised turd.
I also have an album signed by The Uncanny X-Men (Aussie band from the 80's).
I like the fulgarite better. Any fans of the Xmen contact me for the album!
