The only thing I can really think of is my sword collection.
Oh and I also have this miniature glass statue of my zodiac animal. If that counts as weird.

It's a tie between my stuffed koala dressed as batman, my cayman head, or my ceramic maple leaf.
My friends love to get me strange gifts.

Back in Texas, I have some swords. Down here though, the oddest thing would have to be this pair of handmade maracas from Nicaragua.
I have a horseshoe crab mounted on my wall... 
I named it Clive.
I bought the damn thing from the Natural History Museum in Prague.
...It is also sad that I had to think abit before deciding on the wierdest thing being the crab, I also have a load of authentic african masks...

i have like a metal stake that me and a friend pulled out of the ground when we were dismantaling his fence took like 2 days of hitting it with a hammer and pulling it to get it out so i thought i would keep it a sa trouphy, thinkin of walking into a crowd of people and showing it off for fame and hopefully presents.
A hollowed out turtle shell. When my parents bought our house, it was a dump. We basically bought it at a low price and did major cleaning and remodeling of the interior. They noticed a wall that seemed to be out of place, and tore it down (It was out of place, because the room ended too soon for the other room to be right next to it). Inside the remains of the wall, they found a collection of silverware and a hollowed turtle shell that seemed to be plastered up inside the wall. Behind the wall laid a bathroom. I really have no idea what the hell was up with this house lol.
I have been obsessed with collecting odd stuff for most of my life, but the most unusual object I have aquired so far, has to be an extraordinarily rare version of the Iron Cross. (WW1 issue, thankfully - no swastika!)
I'm sure most of you have at least heard of the Iron Cross, the famous German military award which signifies that the bearer has shown exceptional bravery in combat (or bought an Iron Cross on eBay.) It is made of blackened iron, with a silver frame. That's the standard edition - mine is made of brass!
That's right, a brass Iron Cross!
Apparently, these were sometimes issued to naval personnel because the regular model would quickly get rusty from the salty sea air.

I don't really own many things that are out of the ordinary. Though two things do come to mind. One is a fish fossil and the other a 1939-1945 service star that was found in my grandparents' garden. Quite how it got there I'll never know.
Well, I used to have cow's skull hanging on the wall in my bedroom, until I moved out of that apartment and couldn't take it with me. Found it out at some ruins near Wupatki National Monument in Arizona. XD It had nice horns and everything.
Currently, I have a small measuring tape keychain. Has a four-foot tape! Comes in handy at work!

I have my grandfather's forged knife that he used for hunting and during the Vietnam war. I use it to kill squirrels that attack my dogs XD.
I own Samba de Amigo for the Wii. That's a pretty weird game...
Although it's not a strange object, there's strange reasoning behind me having a used bullet cartridge thingy.
I'm not into shooting (as you may have guessed by my lack of general lingo), but my dad went shooting with a friend of his a while ago.
Brought back a few of the afore mentioned cartridge thingies, and gave one to me.
Good times.
