I just got a lot of ABS from eBay and the junk mixed in is unbelievable.
The usual assortment of tente and tyco, along with some purple sticky stuff
keeping some of the LEGO together (think carmalized Jolly Rancher).  But the
real inspiration for this post has just been found...a tooth.  One of the
guy's baby teeth in the lot!  There are a lot of very good sets but the
sorting and prospects of washing are unbearable.  So what's the strangest
thing you've found in LEGO lots?
