ORIGINAL: MalcolmNathaniel Most of my strangest items (if you don't count my gaming stuff) are some rather odd books I have: "The Seducer's Cookbook" - It's a cookbook for bachelors entertaining women at home. It has a list of the various types of women and a meal plan for each of them (including post-coital snacks.) It even has a warning about cooking while in the nude. What makes this book odd is that it was written in the early 1960's, by a woman. I also have a Japanese cookbook written in the 1950's. What makes this one odd is that it was written for Japanese wives moving to the States with their husbands; it shows how to make things like glazed hams and pot roasts using traditional Japanese cooking tools. I have a book on collecting vintage shoes. I have 1st edition Mark Twain (not weird but seriously cool and rare.) A 1940's U.S. Army manual on the care and usage of helmets ("It's Your Head: Keep It!") Alright, I know that grunts are dumb, it is part of the job description, but seriously? It was a steel pot, other than it getting punctured by a bullet, what could you do to it that would make it useless?
