What's the best thing you've found?

I found a jaw harp in my postbox
I ordered it on Ebay, it was delivered to my hovel today and since I opened the package I haven't been able to put it down.
Simply put, a jaw harp is the retarded inbred half-cousin of the harmonica. It's a metal bar, curved into a bell shape with a flexible tongue in the middle. You put it against your teeth, flick the twanger and move your tongue and throat to make a deep droning sound that has been likened to the noise a frying pan makes when it hits a human head. Using your voice creatively, you can play all kinds of songs - like that old favourite, "twangy twang twang BUZZ twang", or even "twang twang twangtwang click OUCHMYFUCKINTEETH". Today, I learned how to play "twang," the song that won the Russian Hillbilly Classic three years ago.
Best buy I ever made, actually. It sounds better than Jose Gonzalez.
EDIT: YouTube video is now up here
Length? 53mm and twangily flexible.

Coincidentally,
the sheet music was in the box. It's a bit hard to read, all the notes are exactly the same.

That's the bunny.
No one knows why they are called that, though it is appropriate (me being a Red Sea Pedestrian and all). It may be because they sound like the droning hum of a thousand very old men mumbling in a language they don't know.

Not yet, I'm working on it.
But I can play Tool's "Lateralus" and Dueling Banjos.

Yup
I bought one of them a short while ago also, and in addition to the melodies you mentioned, I can play: "Twang..TwangTwangTWANNNGCLACK!!!Jesus, and actual PIECE of tooth just flew out of my mouth!!! You bastard"
You'll find it's an easy tune to learn.
