Top 10: Strange Collections
These folks have a knack for collecting odd knick-knacks. Here are 10 are some of the oddest collectors in the world. Please sit back as we share with you these odd collections?
10. Airsick Bags
No we weren’t joking… airsick bags! 33-year old Danny Callahan began collecting airsick bags out of desperation when he couldn’t find a souvenir aboard a flight. Now he has over 138 of them and apparently the collection is growing. I just hope they aren’t used bags.
**Christoph Vogel of parts unknown has 170 bags… you better get back to collecting Danny!
9. Sheep Dip
Okay, so Julia Wright doesn’t collect sheep dip… THAT would be interesting. Nope, she collects stuffed sheep of every size and shape. Why is that so odd? Well $30,000 of stuffed sheep is a bit unique, don’t you think?
8. Coke and a Smile
Some guy named Xander in the Netherlands has a HUGE Coke can collection and even uses the power of the internet to help him increase his collection. Yup the guy started his own Coke collectors website. How many cans does he have? I dunno, ask him.
7. The Jerk
This collection of oil cans reminds me of a scene from Steve Martin’s The Jerk. Still- though unverified, Fred Stoke of California might have more oil cans than anyone else in the world.
6. That’s Bananas
YES! We have no bananas… well actually they do. This online collection of bananas and the people who collect banana memorabilia is… well.. bananas. I wonder if Gwen ever checked this out….
5. Handcuffs
Once you’ve felt a pair of cuffs, they pretty much all the feel the same. Unless you are a German chick or Joseph W. Lauher . It’s insane, but kind of admirable at the same time. What would I do with a handcuff collection? Wouldn’t you like to know.
4. Lint… From the Bellybutton
Yeah I didn’t believe it either. Okay, having navel lint is human. You have to do something with it or else it will get into the nacho cheese that you keep in your navel on game days… but collect it?!?! And to think, I’ve been throwing away mine all these years…
3. Toast Art
When I burn a piece of toast I’ll either scrape off the burnt bits or else throw it away. If I was Maurice Bennett I would make it into the Mona Lisa and call it a day. Yes, toast art has been snubbed by the critics for too long! Here at TT10 we are making a long time wrong right again.
2. Unusual X-Rays
I liked this one. The only detractor was that there was just not enough x-rays to suit me.I really wish the collection would expand somewhat, maybe include an x-ray of my x-wife with an outline of my wallet… THAT would be funny.
1. In Case You Gotta Go
It is the Virtual Toilet Paper Museum celebrating massive amounts of wipe in ways we never thought of. I normal refrain from “potty humor”, but how can one pass (get it? PASS) up a chance to be corny (heh I did it again) about a site like this… that would be NUTS (that’s three!)
