Coconuts

(vimeo link)

The folks from The Perennial Plate visit a family-run coconut plantation in Sri Lanka, where we find out way more than we ever knew about coconuts. Every part of the tree is used, from the fronds to the alcoholic flower nectar. The coconuts are used in every way possible, too, for food, oil, rope, and even toys.  -Thanks, Mirra!

Collection of stone core samples. Or possibly a collection of ferrite cores...But I don't know why you'd have a numbered collection of those. "Bug Or Feature", Mens XL, Ash Grey

This is actually one of the first crayon sets with which they 'colored' in each individual frame of B/W television before they were photographed and send to space, in order to arrive in your television set as moving images.

Since this work wasn't necessary eventually, they were later utilised as 'resting poles': If an office worker got tired, two of the sticks were to be put into each one of the respected nostrils, in order to keep one's head up while resting.

A household nuclear reactor that only requires a claw-foot tub to operate. However, last time I checked Sears Roebuck & Co has discontinued this item.

It's the actual, honest to Goddess keyboard used to engage the 'Corbomite Manuever'... (Episode: TOS 003 - Corbomite Maneuver, The. Season 1 Ep. 10. Air Date: 11/10/1966) should it ever need to be engaged. Original Star Trek Fans will understand and be afraid, very afraid...
