A large map of the US and Canada (folded up and stamped `Top Secret'). Several large arrows start in Canada and point at important US cities and military installations. At the base of each arrow is a military sounding label such as `25th Airborne', `6th Mech. Inf.', or `1st Armored Canoe Division'.
This could be usefull. *Folds up map and puts it safely in his jacket pocket*

The dumpster's cool... I found a gasoline powered turtlenck and a bottle of nail polish that thinks it's a goat in there.

I got the gasoline-powered turtle-neck sweater, too!

You open the lid of the dumpster, and peer inside to see...
...a yellow and white checkered sphere bearing four faces painted in black. As you turn the heavy object over within your palms, you hear a series of faint clicking noises coming from within. Reaching into the crate again, you pull out a manual entitled, simply, "The Mark One Spinning Face - Deadly accurate. Pneumatic-driven. No system clocks. Will never crash." The rest of the manual is written in a pictographic language you are unable to decypher.
*Rummages further in the Dumpster*
Beneath a layer of Serbo-Croatian newspapers, soggy with a bubbling green liquid that smells like barbecue sauce, you uncover . . .
A science book describing the intestines as part of the parietal lobe. Deeper investigation suggests that the less material you consume, the louder your apprehension of time. Eventually, the more you consume - the more gastrointestinal stangulation of circulatory fluidity emphasizes the 1's to take 0 places during mental function notion over time!
*Even more Rummaging*
But as you look closer, you realize it's not that at all - it is really . . .
An antipope. If applied to a real pope it explodes instantly.
Who has the time to think about this stuff anyway?

You open one of the 1007 boxes on this floor and find...
A children's comic book, Tales of the Wilderlund, featuring talking animals having rather tame adventures. The dialogue, titles and advertising are written in a strange dialect of English. While they don't refer to them or use them, the animals all have explicitly drawn genitalia.
I opened another box and found...
A wooden model of M. C. Escher's impossible triangle.

You open one of the 1000 boxes on this floor and find. . .
A set of one dozen MIB-grade tinfoil hat-liners with complete instructions on their construction and use to prevent the effects of mind-control rays. They would work, but are now of merely historical interest, as the mind control system has since been upgraded and will bypass protection of this nature.
Hmm. Okay, try another one. . .
A device, about the size of an electric typewriter, with slots on the left and right. A placard on the front is written in Braille, and identifies it as a "money imprinter." Bills fed in the left side will be optically recognized, stamped in braille with their denomination and type, and fed out the right side. The process doesn't damage the bill, it merely raises bumps in its surface which can be read by touch. It recognizes all contemporary currencies, and has a pull-out drawer into which more ROM chips can be plugged (presumably for new forms of currency). A sheaf of documents elsewhere in the crate describe correctly its operation and inexpensive construction using currently available technology. However, the device has a bloodstain on it, and an attached tag reads merely "Suppress indefinitely."
Ho hum.

I opened the box and found......
A box about six inches on a side, which what seems to be a mirrored bottom. A closer look will reveal that the images in the mirror are not reversed. If you reach into the box, or poke anything inside, it will bump into itself when it reaches the plane of the "mirror," which is actually a space warp.
In the dumpster, I found the gasoline powered turtleneck and the nailpolish that thinks it's a goat too. Do you get the feeling that there's something not quite so "random" about it?
