Archimedes Bathtub

Yesterday, we got an odd call from Italy. A woman had come in possession of a large marble tub (perhaps a bathtub) that appeared to be very old. She said that she was first concerned when she decided to wash her dog in it, her dog would only float on the water and would not submerge for washing and rinsing at all. Then she decided to give it a try herself only to find that she also floated on top of the water!

We all immediately boarded a plane and set off to see this tub!

When we arrived, H stared at the tub a long time. he then rolled it on its side and exclaimed "Ah hah!"

Turning to the woman, he said "How much did you pay for this tub?"

"About 300 Euros."

"Madame, I will give you 500 for it." We all stared.....

On the plane back to Storehouse 27, H explained that an ancient Greek tub makers mark was on the bottom and that we were now possibly in possession of Archimedes' tub!

Tesla's Lightning Rod

Some wonder person left us a lightning rod by the door. As I bent over to pick it up, I not only got an electroshock from static electricity but a violent thunderstorm appear in the sky. We wonder what the story is - who left it, where did they get it....

After dong research n it, we realized that it was Tesla's own lightning rod! What a special gift. Thank you to the person who left it!

Disney's Pen

It took four people to get it under control and out of the hands of the previous owner. Walt Disney's pen was purchased at auction by an established member of our society who will remain unnamed. Little did he suspect that when he grasped the pen, everything within a 10 foot radius of them would turn into a cartoon! The poor man found himself living a life as would be found in the film "Roger Rabbit". When the Storehouse heard the tale of what was happening, we rushed to his rescue and now have the famous pen in our vault. Animation can now rest in its proper place!

It's Back!

We loaned the Fabrege hand with the glass realistic bird to Geico for a handsome fee. It is magical. Anyone who touches it hears a voice that says "Worth two in the bush." Glad to have it back in our safe hands!

Einstein's Compass

Don't let anyone know but we just got Einstein's compass in. It was creating havoc in Princeton, NJ where space and time began warping near Einstein's former house. Cars were disappearing in front of the house and then reappearing in a number of places. In fact a tour bus spontaneously appeared in the middle of the Hyatt atrium! And an old Ford Model T appeared from nowhere in the Institute for Advanced Studies parking lot. Good thing we were able to find the compass and bring it here.

The Joyce Family Pen

We thought it would be best to explain the pen to the left. It has been passed down through the Joyce family for generations and was the first artifact to be stored by Storehouse 27. James was the Joyce who discovered that caution needed to be exercised when using this pen and James was the last member of the Joyce family to use this pen. He discovered that if the pen was within three feet of him when he began to write his novels, he would find himself writing long drawn-out sentences that were totally void of punctuation. After awhile, people around James realized that his speech began to change resulting in long rambling speeches consisting of what appeared to be nonsense. Now that the pen is in Storehouse 27, no one will ever know exactly what happened, but it is now surmised that repeated exposure to the pen results in one's thought s being taken by the pen itself.

Shhhh...,,,

Don't say anything but the agents here at Storehouse 27 have decided to let the public know about our organization. We are privately funded large warehouse of stored artifacts that, well...are odd. Currently, there is s show on TV based on our organization called "Warehouse 13" but they just have it all wrong! It is here, that we will let you know the truth! But don't tell anyone....
