That's impressive.

I thought they would eat anything small enough to get in their mouths, and will have a good go at stuff that isn't?

A Koran and prayer beads found at a house that ISIS fighters had fled in a hurry, near Mosul. I always wondered if it would be risking bad karma bringing them into my house.

Not sure about the oddest but found this wrapped up in carrier bag in the attic last night. Quite unexpected to be honest, a bit like finding hedge porn when I was a kid.

Thats because its not a real phone. Apparently these dummy phones were made for advertising, they felt and handled just like the real thing, so a potential user could experience the real thing without actually handling the real thing.

Problem was that someone couldn't spell, so they all ended up in a scrapyard.

I should add that the story behind this "phone" was told to me by the guy in the scrapyard some 20+ years ago, no idea if its accurate. Its been with me all that time and I've come to regard it as a lucky charm!

While checking out Stone Mountain, outside Atlanta GA, I thought I’d climb it, while I was fit enough.

I'm pretty sure we've got a real one kicking around in a drawer somewhere, might see if I can dig it out.

He would attempt to eat anything he thinks he can eat, that can include a fish larger than himself...... That is why he is in a tank with no other fish.......
