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?

I am a Microsoft Technical Beta Tester (sad, I know)As a result, I have all sorts of weird stuff dating back to about 1998, including the Windows XP Service Pack 2 commemorative edition (which is just a normal SP2 disc with a "thank you" printed on the cover); Technical Beta Special Edition CDs of Windows 98, 98SE and Me; Windows Millennium Post-It notes (before Microsoft realised the name was too naff, initialled it and rushed it to the shelves) and a Windows 98 polo shirt. Plus random Corel T-shirts.
I also own a massive hoarding poster from last year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, which is surprisingly effective, and the very first (signed) demo CD by some schoolfriends of mine who now support bands like Biffy Clyro. And a lovely fast-food style carrier bag I got when I bought the last Radiohead album.
Of course, nothing I own can beat Safetyfox's Cunard ad.
