Watch as Boeing builds a 737-700 for Southwest airlines in only 2.5 minutes in this time-lapse video. This particular plane is named the Florida One, for its artwork featuring the state flag. The catchy music is a bonus! Link (embedded YouTube clip)
While it is certainly a spent Minie Ball (do I get credit for being the first to spell it correctly?). Perhaps it is the famous one that supposedly got a woman pregnant after passing through a soldiers testes.
I would have said the above, but it is too late for that. So instead I will say that it is the tooth of some prehistoric beast, like a mastodon or giant sloth.
That is a long-range cordless drill circa 1860. They were eventually replaced by modern battery powered models due to lack of accuracy in hole position and the need to buy a completely new tool to drill different sized holes.
Unicorn Coprolite. It is a little known fact that although officially neutral the government of Unicorn Island secretly sent large supplies of the stuff from their ancient prancing grounds to the Union Army for use as ammunition and are at least partially responsible for the victory over the Confederates.
It's the lumbar vertebrae from the lesser giant tree hamster of Pago Pago. Thankfully, they went extinct in 1953. Notoriously prone to stowing away, they wreaked havoc aboard wooden sailing vessels by gnawing straight through the hull below the waterline. Great numbers of them were lost at sea, until eventually their numbers could not be sustained due to their relatively long gestation. Since their extinction, boat captains have enjoyed the reprieve from losing their craft.
As others have stated it is a Minié ball (Civil war era ammunition) but more specifically it is a Union one. The Union used ones with 3 groves where as the Confederates used ones with 2 groves.
Looks like a minie ball to me, Civil War era, not in the best of shape. The number of grooves (which are kind of hard to see because it's so pitted) make it look like a Union minie ball I own.

Oh, it's a minie ball. you can actually buy them, or replicas of them, at the Civil War Museum in Gettysburg, PA. This one looks special though. Is it the one that killed Ms. Wade, the only civilian death during the battle of Gettysburg?

It's a piece of roman aged fossilized human poo (coprolite), found in Gloucester recently and touched by many school children. And is currently housed in Gloucester city museum, UK. :D
This an amazing piece of history! A patient was severely constipated, unable to have a bowel movement for almost a year. Doctors tried every remedy they could but to no avail. Eventually P.T. Barnum decided he would have the answer to the poor patient's troubles and brought in a (probably doctored) photograph of Abraham Lincoln wearing his trademark stovepipe hat and a pink mankini. The image was so frightening to the patient his bowels suddenly constricted, shooting out this piece of poop which injured a nurse before embedding itself in the wall. This piece is now in a museum and is the origin of the term "sh*ttin' bricks"!
Whitcwa is correct. This is NOT Minnie's balls, but one of Mickey's balls. They were removed at mouse-puberty by ol' Walt to maintain Mickey's trademark, high-pitched squeaky voice.

Its a biting bullet. I usually like to make up a wild story, but the teeth marks attest to the human suffering endured by soldiers past, present and future. During the civil war a soldier was gravely wounded and surgery was performed this was used in place of anesthetic. I don't recomend you chew on led, but to leave teeth marks this deep shows you that whatever the poor sould endured, it was bad. Yes , it is a minie ball, a great leap in balistics that tactics failed to make, so the carnage of the times was multiplied.
This object is pictured smaller than actual size. It is the space vessel used in the Georges Melies' 1902 classic film "A Trip to the Moon" (Une Voyage dans la Lune). It was recovered during the Apollo moon landings by taking it apart to fit inside each lunar module and returned to earth where it was painstakingly reassembled.

This is a mousetrap and petrified cheese from an ancient Egyptian pyramid. It reveals the real reason for the Egyptian's supreme adoration of the feline. And cat's have been riding on this superstardom for too long!
