What unusual kitchenware do you collect?

[Math Is Hard]

You can make your own (provided you can fold as fast as the person in the video).

For even more, you can take some tin foil and make your own tin foil http://www.origami-videos.com/origami-samurai-helmet.html .

And for the record, there's nothing weird about the things I collect.

I could get addicted to those origami videos!

Stuff from the dumpster in back on the nursing home?

 

[tacosareveryyum]

It is called a joke. Sheese, this IS the internet people...

I'm serious. That's where I got most of mine. There and laundromats.

I'm really scared of this forum... am I going to be like this too someday?

Very pretty! That is much more elegant than the salt-lick we had on our family dinner table back in Alabama.

ahahahha, but really, salt use to come in one big ol' chunk, and you would half to file off some to fill the Master salt, the Master salt was used to fill the smaller salt dips{cellars} around the table.
Depending where you lived, salt and pepper use have a value equal to gold.

I collect land hermit crabs and it makes my room smell really weird :D. I keep them in a big tank and I personally think they are cute.

I made a small hermit crab gallery. I made this a long time ago and its kind of stupid, but its got some nice pictures. (I have more crabs than are on the site tho).

Wow, you have a lot! They're very cute.

 

[baywax]

I used to collect things a lot when I was younger, A LOT. Now ever time I see people collecting things I cringe and say to myself why? Theres just no need to collect stuff.

I'd have to agree. This is why we've evolved a memory! However, I still have some hadrosaurus' vertebrae, one extremely long spinosaurus' tooth and bags of petrified wood. The collection includes bugs in amber as well. The cool thing about these things is that they represent events that took place tens of millions of years ago. Its like you have preserved and are experiencing that period in time when you can handle and closely inspect the objects.

 

[B. Elliott]

I've collected lots of things in the past, and still collect quite a few. I've collected older comic books, baseball cards, crinoid and trilobite fossils, old science, astronomy and paleontology books, stamps, computer processors from the 8088 to recent, coins, movie ticket stubs and car models... mostly Porsches and hotrods form the late 50's thru the 70's.

whenever someone says i need a hobby, i just smile.

Cool! I used to have hermit crabs! (quiet, Danger!)

They were a big fad when I was a kid.

 

[sas3]

I used to collect match books from different gas station, bars, and restaurants when I was younger.
I had thousands of them; I burned them all at a party where we had a nice bonfire.

I also had a hermit crab "Kermit" was his name.

I had crabs once in the late '60s. They seemed quite gregarious though. Not hermits, and I wasn't geared up to keep them as pets.

I just took stock of what I had collected: Three lawn mowers, two energy bikes [don't ask], several dozens of feet of fencing materials, numberous car batteries, bed frames, insulations and dry wall, boxes fulls of supplies such as high pressure copper tubing purchased for a failed project in 1986, gun targets and clay pigeons [most were broke], misc pumps and motors, big iron thingies for purposes unknown, refrigeration coils for the 1986 project, 16 tires [6 with rims], one fiberglass pressure tank...

I am expanding my office into an area used as a catch-all storage area used for the last sixteen years. We just took the 6th truckload to the dump and recycling center.

I don't know where Tsu finds all of this stuff.

It sounds mostly like one very industrious, innovative, integrated solar heating project 'lost' to history

I thought people in Maine had lobsters.
