Post Unusual stamping objects

I don't have too many stamps, so I was just looking around my house for things I could use to stamp with. (I'm still trying to figure out a good way to stamp a clothespin so it all shows up; the one I was using was sort of curved). So what's the most unusual household object you've use as a stamp? This might have been brought up before; I'm not sure.

Many, many moons ago (back when I was young) we cut potatoes in half and carved out shapes and used them for stamps!

Other Vegetables and fruits work well also. Certain celery pieces produce a half moon or crescent shape good for a background. An apple cut in half crosswise produces a neat star in the center,and a kumquat halved crosswise makes a really cute circle design to stamp wreaths or staggered to make a Christmas tree.

kitchen scrubber, brillo pads, onion bags, dryer sheets, baby wipes, washers, nails, screws, rubber bands, marbles, fingers, side of hand to make baby foot print, comb, wax paper, coins, med. bottle, go to the kiddie sites to look up more stuff.
basically, if it stands still long enough, it is fair game to use in any way in my crafts. It helps to remind the family keep things picked up around the house.

Not too unusual, but potatoes and apples.

Paper towels with "quilting" can make some pretty cool designs.

I've never done it, but I've seen the bottom cut off a bunch of celery and stamped as a rose. It was pretty cool.
I have used a pencil eraser for a small solid circle.
