I have recently come into possession of a roughly two-inch long obsidian crystal. I suspect it may be an Artifact of Doom.

I own a small collection of knock-off Funko Pops. They're mostly of Marvel characters but there are a few GI Joe characters, one Optimus Prime, and one Indiana Jones. They all look a lot like Funko Pops but most definitely aren't

I think I got them for Christmas one year when I was younger. No idea why I till have them.

I have a bootleg Ash Ketchum hat I bought from a marketplace in Sydney. There's that, or there's 50 random and mostly terrible C Ds sitting in a shoebox on my floor that I bought randomly.

A place in my town is getting rid of their CD stock, so they're going for a dollar. There was a period of time where I'd go in, grab 2 - 10 C Ds based on the cover art, listen to them and/or review them. Now they're sitting in a shoebox collecting dust.

A monitor. Just a monitor, on my desk, hooked up to nothing. My dad brought it to me a couple days ago saying I could use it as a TV or computer monitor, but for now it's just sitting there.

A travel brochure from the mid-1960's, to the Soviet Union. Funny and deeply tragic reading at the same time, because of how much it distorts reality.

A tiny kiddie notebook I got in my Christmas stocking when I was 10 filled with random drawings I did (one was Bender from Futurama, and others were drawings of these pets I attempted to draw from this day to day calendar I had at one point.)

The back half of a horseshoe crab shell (or at least the exoskeleton of one). I found it on a beach in North Carolina when I was about 13. I also have part of a broken conch shell which I found on the same beach.

I own what seems to be a bootleg DVD of Shaolin Soccer. Haven't booted it up, so I don't know if the disc itself is weird, but the disc is listed with a BBFC 18 rating, which is not only inaccurate to the film itself (which is a 12 according to the BBFC website), but the icon is also yellow instead of red.

Another odd belonging of mine is a Cymbal-Banging Monkey toy I found in an antique mall back in October.

It doesn't resemble the typical "Jolly Chimp" toy (the one that's the page image for that trope), though. There's also no sign of any brand identification on it, so I don't know where it came from.

I sometimes joke that he's actually some kind of Sealed Evil in a Teddy Bear. I call him Eddie.

This "brilliant" movie poster for Godzilla vs. Megalon that I had shipped to New York from Southeast Asia that depicts the two monsters fighting atop the Twin Towers (which I also had framed).

My understanding is that this movie wasn't released in the United States until 1976, when it would have been competing for dollars with a Remake of King Kong that changed the ending to feature the giant ape climbs the Twin Towers, as opposed to the Empire State Building. Obviously, somebody thought that referencing that when promoting a Godzilla movie was a good move to make. However, with nearly 50 years of historical hindsight, it just seems like an incredibly audacious and tacky thing to put on display, so, naturally, I couldn't resist.

I have a Mew plush toy with a phallic-shaped tail. My dad bought it for me when I was a kid and I didn't notice how weird it looked until later.

A piece of an engine from a vehicle that blew up at a tractor pull (if you're not from the South or Midwest, look it up) near me. This happened about 5-6 years ago, & if you walked up to the announcer & asked, he would give you a part. I got the last one. It's small, but definitely interesting.

Back when The Emoji Movie was new, my local frozen yogurt place did a promotion for it, including plastic spoons of the movie's characters. I got one while this promotion was happening, and kept it as a joke. I still have it lying around.

A stuffed otter. I have a few different ones, but this one is worth mentioning because I still have the price tag reading "Beaver stuffed toy" on it.

A bunch of little houses I built from popsicle sticks. The weird part is that at one point I built one to commemorate every cartoon I liked that ended for some reason. I made ones for The Amazing World of Gumball, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, OK K.O., and some others I don't remember.

I collect toys as a hobby so I own a lot of weird stuff. The figurine of Venom I own came with a tongue you can pose due to it being sculpted on a bendy wire. I guess in context it’s not that weird.

I have a collection of empty bottles of Sprecher (a brand of fire-brewed craft soda). It's mostly because I like the label designs, and I'm trying to get one of each.

Oh and I forgot: A book of illustrations depicting unusual ways to use dead cats. I begged my parents to buy it for me from a thrift store as a kid.

As a kid I had this booklet I made that contained nothing but misheard lyrics for the celebration song from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but sadly I've since thrown it out

On a similar note, I'm not sure if I still have it but one year some relative got me The Book of Bunny Suicides for my birthday. When I was still a kid.
