In my case, it is an unopened 12.7 ounce box of Bart Simpson Peanut Butter Crunch cereal.
A little green plastic army man.
A fake boob given to me by an engineer for a company that manufactures them.
Haj
Massage oil and a sheet of bindhis.
This is an easy one. It’s ON my desk actually and I am quite well-known for it. It’s a five pound plus rubber band ball. I started it from scratch when I first started here and it moved with me when I changed departments 3 years ago. Last year there was a wintersession class on obsession and the instructor came and photographed it for the class. Soon I will have to start a new one because it’s getting too big for the rubber bands that I use on it.
(looks through drawers, shelves, piles of paper…)
Nothing.
Okay, now I hate my job. Thanks.
Me.
Hmmm… let’s see …
dismembered hand from action figure
spring from hide-a-bed sofa
box from Nascar playing cards
tube of model cement
car-stereo mounting bracket
Chinese train ticket stub, Shenyang to Peking
Oddest thing? A set of MS-Dos on 3.5" diskettes !!! 
a copy of The Last Hundred Yards: The NCO’s Contribution to Warfare
A lime green lava lamp.
Does a portable DVD player and a stack of 50 movies count? I love my job 
Two rubber light bulbs, and a pair of solid stone Chinese massage balls.
It’s a toss up:
the miniature noose taped to my monitor (to represent me “hanging myself” when I purchased my house 2 years ago)
the gold 6" tall monkey statue. said monkey is holding a platter, he’s wearing a fancy jacket and pant suit and he has bare feet. I’m not exactly sure what it’s supposed to be…possibly an incense holder
a sheep (stuffed animal a la beanie baby…but bigger)
a picture of a messed up, angry looking cat with the caption: "I’m Wet! I’m Tired! I’m Pissed! So Don’t Even Think About Petting This Pussy!
An unused pregnancy test - even though we aren’t going to have children and I’ve been on the pill for 12 years. :eek:
The heat sink and fan to a 1998 Dell Inspiron laptop
MS-DOS v 6.22 on floppy.
The carefully carved off heel of a left sneaker.
The fifth leg of an office chair.
Caricci I can join your club. Don’t you just love how they form complete sphere’s, never out of shape?
Check this out.
Heh. I have an odd little item I’m using as a paper weight. It’s a prosthesis. Specifically, the upper half of a left knee joint, size 7 (Rosie Greer size) - big as they come).
Top that.
a Puzz-3D R2D2, with working soundbox that makes all the right beeps.
For EE type people, a set of the very first chips with boundary scan,
given to me by folks from TI about 13 years ago.
There may be other stuff under there, but I haven’t seen the surface of my desk in months.
A softball sized chunk of Purina Dog Chow.
A Jesus bobble head doll standing next to a small Ganesha statue.
Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls action figures.
Perhaps more exciting but infinitely less interesting, I have an assemblage of ca. 2000 year old stone tools that I am currently examining.
