Shed tarantula skins
Are worth their weight in, er, pennies.

Often I give mine away to friends and, in once case, a colleague with a big fear of spiders who was desperate to get over his arachnophobia and asked for a skin, as he felt he'd be able to look at it without the fear of it moving.

Rather than do something evil, but hilarious, I did the decent thing and brought it to him in a clear plastic box, and rang him to say I'd bring it into his room.

When I did, slowly and calmly, I witnessed the purest, funniest, most honest human fear reaction I have ever encountered.

He turned his head, leapt up and darted backwards, pushing his office chair across the room, squeaked and farted. All at once.

Epic.
