Postal Experiments

From the improbably research files comes U.S. Postal Service experimentation. The experiments involved attempting to mail various strange, valuable, unwieldy, pointless, suspicious, and disgusting items. The majority of these items were actually delivered indicating a high level of tolerance among postal workers, or maybe even a sense of humor. Some examples include a ski, a can of soup, a large wheel of stinky cheese, and a feather duster. Most items were unwrapped, all with appropriate postage affixed to them in some manner.

Deer tibia. Our mailing specialist received many strange looks from both postal clerks and members of the public in line when he picked it up at the station, 9 days. The clerk put on rubber gloves before handling the bone, inquired if our researcher were a “cultist,” and commented that mail must be wrapped.
