Once while attending Central Wyoming College my fellow technicians and myself found a box of doll parts none of them matching, arms, legs, heads, eyes, everything except body's. If it had been covered in blood we might have thought it a horror movie prop. It occurred to me that this sort of thing must happen in prop rooms everywhere. What are some of the strange things you have found in the deep dark depths of the theatre?

I once found "Sterile Water for Injection" that expired on September 1, 1977 (this was May 2009). I've seen a lot of random shit in props rooms, but that has got to be the weirdest.

At a summer theatre I worked in, the stage manager (a personal friend of mine) found, in with the plastic toy guns and starter pistols in a cardboard box marked "guns", a live and loaded revolver.

I found the scull of a previous prop person in an unlabled box, in a pile of donated items...
