   What's the weirdest thing you've ever collected? One reader sent in this email:   
      
   "Years ago, in a dusty corner of an antique store, I found a little box filled   
   with sealed vials of water.  They were made in such a way that they were   
   opened by snapping off the tip of the glass.  I could never figure out what   
   they were used for, except perhaps for medical use because the water would   
   (hopefully) be sterile.  I sold them online to someone who worked for the show   
   "Carniv+ále" that was on HBO a few years ago.  They were going to use them on   
   the set.  I never got to see the episode personally, but I thought it was neat   
   that they found a home there!"
