Probably not weird enough for Weird Earl's, but I mean jeez:

Is there really a market out there for antique milk bottles and bottle caps? One of them's selling for $125!

Anyone wanna share their favorite websites that sell something oddly specific?

Why is it odd?

Having a gallbladder collection is odd.

Why wouldn't there be? It's no more silly than collecting anything else.

The more obscure an item is to collect, the more of a challenge it is to locate and fill your collection, which is a large part of the fun. Milk bottles aren't commonly collected, hence they're fun to hunt for.

I take it you've not heard of the Mutter Museum (http://www.collphyphil.org/Site/mutter_museum.html)?

I guess a lot of them go to the middle east. There are a lot of milk sheiks.

You answered your own question.Well it was largely rhetorical anyway.

But I still answered it. Do I get points?
