An Outhouse. I Own An Outhouse. We Put A Fake Skeleton In It Just In Case Someone Looks Inside.
But what's weird about outhouse? In Finland people have these almost in all summer cabins.
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe they don't have them often in that town anymore? I know in Australia they aren't in most places where there is less than a 1/4 acre block (backyard) and even then there is usually one in the house that is actually used. In the country you will still find them in non-permanent places like holiday homes at times.

I remember those, welcome to America!! And we had a Sears catalog for toilet paper.
Pen Microscope. Perhaps It's Not Strange, But It's Strange That I Have It
In case you were wondering, the second picture is a zoomed-in image of a paper towel.
Omg where did you get that??! I’m a paleontoligist so that would be soooooo epic for my mini museum
Probably This Wooden Bust Of 19 Year Old Me
"Strange" in that I can't imagine having a carved bust of one's self is particularly common
Cool! I have one a little weirder - my father has a carved wooden statue of himself naked - as a toddler, carved by his father.
...but if you were a dead composer, you probably wouldn't own very much at all, especially a bust?
Load More Replies...Did you make it? Agreed a bit strange to have a bust of yourself lol but very cool regardless!
No, it was the father of my then-girlfriend. He is an artist and wanted to attempt a bust. He's done many since
Load More Replies...I don't know who that is, I hope he isn't dreadful

My Uncle was a forensic archeologist and did some work over there. Mainly excavating this tyrants mass grave sites...

Off camera they have water in the test tubes, they can access it through a pice of cotton.
I caught some carpenter ant queens a couple summers ago. One of them escaped in my apartment... I'd be concerned, but the place is being torn down next year so meh.
Unless your house is made of brick and steel, you do not want to keep those inside.
These ants are camponotus modoc, they generally are a dirt nesting species of carpenter ant, so I am not worried about them nesting in my house.

These 2 Derps Are The Strangest, But Cutest, Pups
Two Molts From My Lovely Female Brachypelma Smithi (Mexican Red Knee Tarantula)
part of me wants to throw my phone across the room and another wants to pet one.
I CANT UNSEE. sorry, suffering from arachnophobia here :)
Arachnids have exoskeletons, which they shed through a process called molting in order to grow. My beautiful girl is about 14 years old and does not molt often; once every year or so. Here is a great video (not mine) of this fascinating process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48fGZerPw9c&t=204s
I Am Owned By A Chubby Dachshund
An overweight dog that my local SPCA rescued died from heart complications (I work there, and it was really sad for our canine team). Do right by your floof baby. Ease him onto a diet and a slowly increasing exercise regime, otherwise he will die, and you will be held accountable.
This Drawing That I Drew A While Back
The Original Eggball. It’s A Superball Shaped Like An Egg. You Can Imagine The Damage It Caused
My mom carries a flashlight in her pocket. I thought that was cool. So now I carry one in my pocket. I don't care that my phone has a light on the back of it, I have a flashlight.
A giant isopod plush animal, wont let me upload a picture to the list so here he is! 😅
Apparently adding content to this post is not allowed. Shame, I had a good one.
Well since it's clear that it's never going to let me upload, I'll just mention it: I have 2 of the weirdest NES controller ever made, called the Quickshot. Quite how anyone thought that making a giant disc for the D-pad occupy 75% of the controller was a good idea is beyond me!

Also bought a plush cancer cell (from the same place) and attached it to the uterus with a safety pin, as that's basically why I had a hysterectomy. I find it hilarious. It seems to make others uncomfortable. I also find that rather amusing too.
a couple of things: all of my dogs that have passed are in urns. not dog related urns but the kind you get for people. they sit on the top of my shelves with their collars on them. since i am getting to be an old fart i have thought about what will happen to them when i go. so, i told my son if he cremates my happy a**e then he can just mix them all together and go scatter us somewhere. if he plants me then place them at my feet/on my feet because that is where they always were if not on my lap.
I've inherited this slide rule from my grandfather a long time ago. Don't have a clue about the age of this thing. I like it and it can still be used. I also have the original manual rekenlinia...975f17.jpg

I'm not proud to own this. Its an incense burner.
the other thing is a collection of the 7 japanese god/goddess. not that it is unusual except for the fact that they are extremely old and made out of ivory which, i assume, was before the ban on ivory was implemented. i keep them for sentimental purposed due to who gave them to me.
I enjoy having strange things. I have a lunchbox with an old syphilis ad printed on each side. (A lunchbox reading: Syphilis: who have YOU exposed?) I have the demo oxygen mask from plane safety demonstrations. A hideously ugly monkey on a surfboard bank that I bought in Tijuana for $3. (That could be a San Diego thing.) I have a vase I bought at an art show that has a dude in a sparkly suit on one side and on the other, same dude in y-fronts. (I display the y-front side.) Vials of cat whiskers separated by cat. Some really bizarre artwork. My mother's wedding dress and veil--it's strange because I've never wanted to get married but somehow I can't part with it. I will probably paint it one day.
You know that if you paint your mother's wedding dress and veil, you'll be featured on one of BP's 'DI-why' posts.
