My husband recently inherited a lot of my grandfather’s machinery tools and standard tools. Whilst digging around in box after box of tools and supplies and all sorts of gadgets and crap, he came across a hypodermic needle:
I have no idea how old it is, but going on the condition of the box, the dust and grime built up around the syringe itself, and the patents for the syringe and needle dating back to the 1930′s, I’m going to tentatively guess that this needle and syringe are at least forty years old.
Neat, huh? 
My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug.

That is so interesting. Can you imagine a doctor or nurse coming at you with that? Yikes!
