Hrmm... US gun laws are certainly far more lax than any down here. I cant think of a single person I know, with a gun, of any sort.
I once found a *BIG* dead spider in a printer, some cracker biscuits and a toy soldier in another printer, a stack of CD's in a PC, and the remnants of narcotics.
Nothing too thrilling.
Only reason I'm allowed to hold anything more than a limited air rifle is because I'm a vermin hunter. The shot gun requires shedloads of licensing, and you wouldn't believe the storage requirements.
the weirdest thing I have found inside a computer is dust
****loads of it
was taking apart an old 286, it was packed with the stuff
I know, pretty weak in comparison

Well, Boomerangs (sp?) are really cool...
Bullets won't come back to you, those will.
You're also the home of those huge beer cans, Fosters. Those would make great projectile weapons (but a waste of perfectly good beer!)
Bah, in my long years, I have never seen a single soul drink a 'giant beer' (Im a spirits man anyway..) Its just a ploy to convince you yanks that we're a pack of hard bastards. :D :D ..
does it work?...

A guy dropped off a PC about 3-4 weeks ago, wondering why his PC went bang, removed the lid, didnt smell to good, turns out the guy had been looking at naughty stuff on the net and shot his wack over and in the PSU - cooked daddy water dont smell to plesent, - rubber gloves and alot of money later - he had a new PSU fitted - I still dont know how he explained it to his wife...

In a word, yuk.
I've found a few items in PC's including:
1) Spiders
2) Roaches (killed 'em with a 4lb lump hammer)
3) A dead juvenile mouse (smelly)
4) A severed fingertip.
We asked the owner of computer #4 if the fingertip was his, and he said no... Hmmm...

Yeah but Fosters is disgusting.
How much is in one of those huge tins anyway?
Okay I once got computer from a school and inside it there was, 2 half full bags of chips (1 fritos bbq, and 1 Doritos cool ranch) 1 empty crushed coke can, 4 candy bar wrappers (empty), 1 half eaten and melted Milky way candy bar, and 4 pencils (slightly broken).
We had a guy bring a computer into the school I used to go to a few years ago to get it repaired, and it had man chowder all over the front of it. My teacher took one look at it an told him not to even sit it down, but to leave right now. We all had a good laugh at that one.

In my best Homoer voice "Yeah, it's big I guess"
I have a sword, and my father has a replica of Billy the Kid's gun. Colt 45 Peacemaker I belive. For anyone that doesn't think a sword can do much, last summer I guy's house was being robbed by about 5 people, he killed I think 2 or 3 and the others where wounded. Not bad for just a sword.
As for the strangest things in a computer, its been pretty normal. CD's, small objects (paper clips, pins, pens, etc..), about a inch of sand/dirt from a computer that was on the floor when the house was flooded, bugs, the usual.

Hmmm...How is this possible? The PS is inside the case. The only opening is the fan at the back of the case. Now, assuming a standard desktop or tower case in the standard location (on the desk, or beside/below it) I start to wonder...

That has to be the grossest thing I have ever heard short of eating human crap.

Don't ask me, i just fixed the thing, - although it tends to make you think how on gods green earth he managed it... ew. i dont want to think about it..
I thought I found some dried noodles in a case once. They were really brittle. Turns out they were really old broken rubberbands from the cables.
