I just ran across this site called warehouse 23 and decided to do some digging in thier basement. I came across these oddities in the first 7 or 8 boxes I opened and just about all of them except the last one listed made me think they were devices that belonged in this universe or had fallen from this universe.

You open one of the 995 boxes on this floor and find...
A CD in a transparent container. The face of the CD says "Mountain Dew(TM)," and has the green Mountain Dew Logo across it. If it is put in a CD player, of any kind, Mountain Dew will be dispensed. The other side of the CD can be used as a drink coaster without any adverse effects.

A large pile of socks. No two of them match. As you watch, a new sock appears on the pile. It feels warm to the touch and smells like dryer sheets.

A small desk calendar. Any scheduled event that is written on the calendar will not take place at the scheduled date or time. Writing your birthday on this calendar could be bad; writing your mother-in-law's birthday on it could be less bad...
You open one of the 999 boxes on this floor and find...
A large, sealed cardboard box. On the side, in red ink, is a large arrow pointing to the top of the box and the legend "This Side Up." No matter how the box is moved or rotated, the arrow will always point to the top of the box and the words will always be right-side-up. If the box is opened, it is found to be empty.
You open one of the 1000 boxes on this floor and find...
A pair of large, pink, fuzzy dice on a string, suitable for hanging from the rear-view mirror of a car. While they are hanging, the car runs normally, but does not appear to use up its fuel.
You open one of the 1001 boxes on this floor and find...
About 5,000,000 sheets of neatly stacked computer printouts from a mass volume line printer covered in nothing but 1's and 0's. Written in red marker on top of one of the stacks is "Hitler Brain Tape; Do Not Load!"
