Weirdest Things Donated to Goodwill,
These Legs They Had Lyin' Around
Nothing says spring cleaning like tossing those pesky old body parts. Although, we must say it's rather thoughtful that some come with their own shoes.
This Poor Little Dude
Though animals aren't accepted as donations, this little guy was left overnight with a collection of other items. Thankfully the folks at Goodwill lived up to their name yet again and found him a loving home.
This Insanely Real-Looking Artificial Decomposing Leg
Thankfully, this ridiculously realistic looking rotting leg turned out to be fake, but not before it got a few screams out of the Fort Worth, TX Goodwill worker who discovered it.
The World's Most Unfortunately Shaped Piggy Bank
A Valentine's Day gift for the new husband who needs a hint about the maternal clock?
This Fertility God
Though he's since been censored with the Goodwill smiley face, apparently this donated fertility god's anatomy doesn't leave much to the imagination.
Yep, That's Definitely a Coffin
We only have two hopes concerning this donation item:
1) That someone finds it and can use it for years... or centuries to come.
2) That its unused.
This Crystal Ball
Unfortunately, it seems forever stuck on the fate of Batman alone.
This Accupuncture Illustration Doll
Need to know where to stick a needle? Apparently this lady has you covered.
This Live Grenade
Not only did this live grenade donation give a very real scare to employees at a Goodwill store in Texas, a professional had to be called in to disarm it.
This Priceless Piece of Work-Out History
Okay, we gotta admit, this is kind of absolutely fantastic.
