Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

Sledgehammer - the shirtI have a shirt. Not just any shirt, but one that I got from my ex-girlfriend's brother's "chucking out" pile back in the late 80's.
Three years (three years, mind you) after I half-inched it, I found out it belonged to prog-rock god and po-faced world music champion Peter Gabriel. Ex's brother was interviewing him at his home for some Hull University rag, and apparently (according to the story I was told) it started to piss it down as he left. So, man-who-once-dressed-as-a-marigold gave him the shirt.
I really treasure the shirt. Yet I have a near-total antipathy for P. Gabriel.
