I&#x27;m enjoying the bed bugs store faq: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cheapbedbugs.com&#x2F;faq" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cheapbedbugs.com&#x2F;faq</a><p>&gt;How do I keep the bed bugs alive?<p>&gt;Bed bugs eat blood and blood only. They aren’t picky to a particular animal. At Cheapbedbugs.com, we use a custom made blood feeding machine.<p>&gt;How do you feed bed bugs?<p>&gt;Unfortunately this is one of the things I cannot share.

The &quot;Chlamydia&quot; one reminded me of the movie Antiviral, where people with celebrity obsession can buy a virus&#x2F;illness sampled directly from their favorite vip.<p>edit, link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt2099556" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt2099556</a>

Sigma is a huge supplier to the sciences; you can (with 40,000 pages of DEA approval) get just any chemical overnighted to you. For instance, you can order a Methamphetamine&#x2F;Cocaine&#x2F;Heroin solution (all in acetonitrile):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sigmaaldrich.com&#x2F;US&#x2F;en&#x2F;product&#x2F;cerillian&#x2F;m025" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sigmaaldrich.com&#x2F;US&#x2F;en&#x2F;product&#x2F;cerillian&#x2F;m025</a>

One can order hundreds of pounds of silly putty directly from Dow Chemical Company for a rather reasonable price. If you need to pull the pictures off of a whole newspaper page, for instance.

The 55 gallon drum of lube on Amazon always cracks me up. The reviews are classic.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Passion-Lubes-Natural-Water-Based-Lubricant&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B005MR3IVO" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Passion-Lubes-Natural-Water-Based-Lub...</a>

&gt; I used to buy 25 pound chocolate sacks for small-scale chocolatiering.<p>Used to buy these for the 14-person co-ops I lived in.<p>The box said &quot;1000 count&quot; on the front, but it was just a bag of ~25,000 chocolate chips.[0]<p>52,920 Calories, and I&#x27;m pretty sure I ate more than 1&#x2F;14th of them.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;CGf1oUtFZHb&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;CGf1oUtFZHb&#x2F;</a>

We used take apart owl poop during science class in middle school. I guess I never thought about where they came from until this post.

Books by the foot is an amazing idea! And seems pretty reasonable in prices also. Kind of want to buy some to see what kind of interesting books I would get, that I would never buy otherwise.

The site mentions owl poop, but it is really owl pellets which are coughed up fur and bones of the owl&#x27;s food.

They list United Nuclear, but surprisingly they fail to mention that it&#x27;s owned and operated by none other than Bob Lazar.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bob_Lazar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bob_Lazar</a>

Regarding bees: I encourage you if at all possible to find a local beekeeper willing to sell you nucs rather than ordering packages through the mail. Mann Lake, one of the largest package sellers in the country, positively screwed me to the tune of $400 this year. The packages you receive from national providers are almost by definition not healthy stock. Many of the sellers found online actually source their bees from the same few wholesalers (for lack of a better term) so be aware of who is actually providing your packages.<p>Nucs are generally better acclimated to your local environment, are already a complete colony, and especially for the beginning beekeeper are far more likely to get you started out right.

As early as 1988, you could get even more weird stuff by mail order:<p>&lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=High_Weirdness_by_Mail&amp;oldid=1152618427" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=High_Weirdness_by...</a>&gt;

Considering the number of missing nukes in the US, I can&#x27;t help but wonder if one has ever been sold online. Maybe on the dark web.<p>An honorary mention to plutonium, which I think you can buy online as well. Although nobody has yet tried to build their own demon core, yet.

Buying a second hand oil tanker is all good and well, but what&#x27;s worth more, the old vessel, or the oil if it&#x27;s completely filled up?

I marvel at Houses where walls are kind of an optional thing (the link to private islands)

I would buy the books by the foot for the look. I love the color ramp!
