A blood spatter kit????? what is a blood spatter kit? Something to make works of art with your blood?



It is used at crime scene investigations for evidence recovery and analysis.

What do you actually do with a blood splatter kit?

Or is it more that you're a police show fan and enjoy seeing what's inside it?

Is it an attractive object to display or is it put away in a drawer somewhere?

I actually don't find any of the things in my house "weird" but there are a few things that you might not find in everyone else's home.

A copy of Anne Rice's Servant of the bones that she signed by the name I was called as a child.
A collection of swords, daggers, and other sharp things that often make people look at me funny.
16 different copies of Starry Night by Van Gogh
263 feet of surgical tube
Leather roses, glass roses, and 11 different jars holding every rose that I have been given in the last twenty years.
An hourglass from the Smithsonian.
More than thirty different versions of different "bibles" (King James, Satanic, Tulmud, Quran, etc. )
69 dragons
More skulls than I actually want to have to count.
Love beads from the '60s that were once owned by Bob Dylan
The shell of a turtle that was once my sons pet.
Three fog machines
Every glass that Disney/Pixar has made and sold via a fast food chain.
A gold tooth from a bouncer at The Dollhouse in Florida that I knocked out back when I used to hang out with the drug scouts of America.
An incense burner made out of human bone.

Oh, when I saw "blood spatter kit" I was thinking SFX... Tom Savini once said that silicone pastry brushes were perfect for putting blood spatter on actors... I can't use mine without thinking of him.

I mentioned this thread to my girl. She thinks I should toss out things I didn't think were weird but she thinks they are.

- carbide miner's lamp with 8" reflector. (hard to find carbide these days but still works fine) I have the hat with metal attachment point for it too.

- Rabbit's foot from my first rabbit hunt.

- A box of my mother's teeth. (after she got dentures; she insisted on keeping all the silver fillings... I guess she wanted to melt them down and sell the metal)

- Copies of land grants from the 1820s. (Land grants in the territories taken in lieu of back pay from War of 1812.)

- Some wanted posters from the 1920s and 1930s with receipts for bounty payments to my grandfather attached.

-Trivets and coasters made of pine straw sewn together with silk embroidery floss.

- Two unopened packs of Lucky Strike cigarettes with green labels. (bonus points if you know the significance)

- Two buckets of glass electrical insulators (I keep meaning to sell these on eBay and I never seem to get to it)
