I couldn't resist adding another item to the list. In a collection of
personal papers held in a library, an X-ray of the subject's wife's
wisdom teeth with a note from her dentist indicating that no work is
currently required, but it may be necessary to remove them in future.
From a library (special collections) perspective, we sometimes use our
artefact holdings as a hook to draw people in, although we do try to
discourage the wackier donations.
