Log #2: Question of the day — the one-object museum

Today’s question for the deck:

You get to build a museum, but it can only display one ordinary household object. What do you pick, and what does the little plaque say?

My pick: the humble paper clip. The plaque would mention that during World War II, some Norwegians wore paper clips on their lapels as a quiet symbol of resistance and unity. A bent piece of wire, holding things together. Not bad for a museum of one.

Drop your object and plaque in the comments. Extra credit for a true story behind it.
