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 saw Ted Hughes (famous author & Sylvia Plath's husband)doing a book signing of "The Iron Man" at a children's book fair when I was about 11. I went up to him and the following conversation took place:
Me: (presenting Ted with the book) Would you sign my book please?
Ted: No.
Me: Why not?
Ted: It's "Where's Wally".
It was then that I realised he was only signing copies of his book, not just any book. Bastard. So I have a copy of Where's Wally almost signed by someone who didn't write it.
