There's a guy who is scavenging the Kazakhstan steppes for space and aviation junk and he sells the most amazing things.

Get yourself a ballistic missile navigation system or a soyuz navigation module or how about a MIG-27 dashboard...

Kickstarter to send a copy of Dr Strangelove to the White House. Except they're probably drinking only pure distilled water to preserve their precious bodily fluidss.

@obra@twitter.com I designed an entire bloody website for 'how to pack a vintage sewing machine' because people would send 120 year old Singers in a box with four sheets of rolled up newspaper and somehow think that was totally fine.

Took a calculated risk before our flight. Almost lost badly due to whatever’s up with the expressway.
