See subject.
- A few chunks of rock containing uranium (radioactive, yes, some are around 16,000 CPM and some only around 4,000)
- NUNZILLA!

- Lots and lots of chemicals. Such as, Calcium Carbonate, Copper Chloride, Magnesium strips, and pure mercury. I'm also trying to get some Beryllium but it's damn expensive for the tiny piece I get. Plus, I don't know where to keep it where it won't flood my basement with lethal neutrons. You know, I don't even know what I'd DO with it. Maybe use it's incredibly toxic dust for nefarious evil?

Advertised as 'The World's Only Nuclear Powered Toy'. Makes a great conversation piece.
Hmm oh yes, I also have a camoflauged golf ball... only god knows why...
-
I don't think I own anything weird. If I think of somethin I'll get back to ya.
-
you have Mg(s)? can i get some? also some saltpeter/re if you have any >:D
-
I literally burn through Mg like... well... yeah. I can get it real cheap-like though. A roll of ribbon is like $10, and a bunch of random shredded bits is like $8... No idea how long the roll is. The shredded cheese is so much fun to throw into a bonfire :D
-
Thats awesome! i love playing around with Mg (its a great igniter for thermite >:D )
I wish i had some cobalt-60 to stick at the bottom of a vat of water, just to stare at its cool blueness :D
btw, what does that "nuclear-powered toy" do?
-
It doesn't do anything, unless you consider alpha particles from Americium splitting atoms of ZnS something ;)
I used to play with thermite and all that... now I play with much more scary things...

(Unfortunately they're sold out of that... for now...)
I would like to make fireworks but it's a lot of work and $$$, with a very crappy risk-reward system. I mean, take a bunch of time packing a simple mortar only to find out you need to remake it but put more titanium in it.
-
...about the strangest thing i own is my now-not-so-TSA-looking-tinfoil helmet....
-
How do you get/obtain/make thermite? I love the stuff.

Al + Fe2 O3

hmm, dont know where this thing came from but i have alot more buried in my backyard, most of em are opened
-
:lol:
-
I don't really have anything weird to be honest
~looks at the carved skull next to mouse pad, a 'rampant rabbit' sitting on the shelves in it's packaging and the assortment of other oddities all over the room~
nope... nothing of interest in here.
Oh, and before anyone gets any ideas, the rampant rabbit isn't mine and hasn't been used outside of a party game where we had to pass a malteaser along the line using spoons held in our mouths at the same time as we passed the rabbit (turned on) with our knees.
~huggles cuddly shark~
-
Hmm. Does a collection of around fifteen plush squids count? A ceramic Loch Ness monster? Umm... a big teacup from my semi-bro, decorated with hand-painted 1337speak? Dunno, I guess the weirdness (or lack thereof) of the stuff I own betrays myself... Maybe that's why I always end up surprising people. ^^
-
15 plush squids! COOL!
I don't own anything too weird. You might consider my 10+ professional footbag videos weird but eh.
I do have a really big plush Meowth (pokemon) that we found in an alley when I was drunk once. I've also got a beer bong hanging so I can fill it when I stand, and the hose dangles right next to my monitor.
-
i have exactly nothing weird in my possession. i borrowed an edition of Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie that some might consider weird. it's actually just a great book so far. (it's a really really really really bad title though, it's not like a satanic bible or anything. it's a work of fiction).
-
Well Hoots - you've moved me without even trying.
I think I'm gonna pick me up a copy of The Satanic Verses today - I've been meaning too for quite a bit and haven't had the chance yet.
Thank ya kindly ^^
-
wow... I mentioned a vibrator and none of you guys batted an eyelid... you feeling ok? XD
-
So, Niteowl is married and has nothing weird. We're unmarried and have plenty of weird things. I see a pattern developing...
-
wow... I mentioned a vibrator and none of you guys batted an eyelid... you feeling ok? XD
vibrator...where ? o_O
btw i dont think i have anything really wierd, well not anything i've noticed yet o_O
-
Probably my collection of useless/unusable data storage media. I have about 10 CDs that are either useless free things or failed burns, a couple hard drive platters, and a bunch of the actually floppy disks without the plastic case. :p
I plan on making a vest (chain-mail-ish) out of the CDs when I get enough.
-
er.. a Monkey made out of a coconut...
A wooden humming bird
A defective Disney plush frog with crossed eyes..
A pocket knife with my initals engraved on it that I was given when I was like.. 5 months old. Someone obviously expected me to turn out a psycho...
My lava lamp which some how formed a pillar of wax and hasn't been used since... There is some kind of evil force at work in it.... :ph34r:
er.. No radioactive stuff.. yet
A medic bag from WW2..
A violin thats like.. 75 years old..
Other random junk..
-

good for you gem, take pleasure into your own hands, as the case may be. YOU GO GIRL/BOY!!!!

totally worth it. the first chapter is fantastic. i love his writing. Midnight's Children was the first on i read.
prolly the next oddest thing i got is a really old edition of Atlas Shrugged. i finished that not too long ago, man, that book is DENSE!! soooo much content. i've never felt the sensation of accomplishment from finishing a book as i have when i got through that tome.
and yes, LF, that is pretty much right. the married and no weird stuff. but i never really collected weird things in the first place.
-
Only crap i own is a super mario doll :D and a Satanic Bible(can't find it) or something like that and poems by Alester Crowley or some name like that.
-
The Satanic Verses eh? I should read that someday. If you can get a fatwa(h?) issued against you over a book, it SHOULD make for an interesting read.
-
lol!!! eeeep! I said it's not mine XD
the 'item' in questions and what I mention in the first post I made is the Rampant Rabbit (link baleeted to protect the innocent). Basically my mum likes to hold ann summers parties from time to time and everyone gets very very drunk (except me =P ). Net result is I usually end up asking her what the heck she ordered and she doesn't even know which makes for some fun packages. The rampant rabbit is one of these mysterious buys which has, like most of that stuff for some reason, ended up in my room ^^;
I've also got a hoopla game but lets just say the thing you throw the hoops around isn't the usual thing you'd expect XD

IIRC, the Satanic Bible was made by a gothy sorta feller from the States in the 60's or 70's right? it's basically just a rail against the hypocrisy and such of the Christianity he sees around him. now get yourself some Nietsche, that's some dark meanderings.
-
The guy who wrote the Satanic bible is Magus Anton Szandor LaVey.
-
Hrm strange crap, really nothing. Maybe if you count 8-9 computers strange thats about it. Oh yah 5000 magic cards and a brother that spends all his free time at the local game store thats about it.
-
uranium, where do you live? i feel the need to stop by your house
-
man, i haven't made explosives in a while, i wonder whats wrong with me.... v_v
I should try a Dry Ice pressure bomb, i've heard that those are great, although you have to watch out b/c they could explode at any given moment (as the dry ice thaws)
Never really messed with anything radioactive though (or satanic :p )
-
OK we have concrete evidence.
Gem is a girl.
-
Tentacles! Err, Venmoch!
Sure about that? Remember, it was his mother who ordered the thing - it just ended up in his room. I might have something like that too, if given the chance...
-
OK we have concrete evidence.
Gem is a girl.
are you sure?... :blink:
-
Yes
Well, I think so....
Anyway, enough of this talk!
-
ooh! fighter called me a he =o
~pulls a jumper over him and giggles~
-
now for the final test...
Gem that giggling makes you look fat!
*awaits reaction, and thus the decision of which sex ghe is*
-
Haha, poor Gem. It's ok, the giggling doesn't make you look fat, DHP is just being mean :p
-
i will always assume Gem is just a very very very giggly Scottish boy, unless he tells me otherwise :)
-
Say what? You have a camoflauged golf ball?!
That's crazy! :lol:
I guess one of the weirdest objects that I own is a "Universal Lock Tool Kit". You know, it's one of those things that you slide through the window to hook the lock. I guess people that jack cars and stuff use this type of thing a lot. :p
-
lol, I'm not telling anything regarding gender so pick one if you feel like it, it doesn't really matter in the end ^^
As mr potter; nuh-uh... giggling can't make you look fat so nyeah :p
-
dont really own anything wierd.. but i got an old mountain dew bottle from 30-40 years ago.. and.... er.. i got a gir plush doll :D that thing rocks. no vibrators here, lol.
-
oh but it does mirssers, you look soo fat :p
i just remembered i have a decapicitated Harry Poter figurine(yes poter, cheap lithuanian ripoff). but his decapicitation wasn't intended..it just kinda...got a little loose on one side and it got worse...and then....
i also have..daikatana....but i didnt know :o.....i swear!
and a bag full of smurfs :D
hmm.. back onto the gender guessing game...
now i grabbed this info from the "how old are you" thread...
lol, I'm just a youngster at 22 years of age
now gem is older than me, so if i ask how old (s)he is and get slapped - s(s)he is definetly female XD
...so how old are you :p ?
-
uh... why ask when you already know? and that's just a silly stereotype, not every girl gives a monkey about their age; especially when people keep thinking they're younger than they actually are :rolleyes:
