Naturally, otherwise it wouldn't be here

I'm really just starting up my cringe-worthy collection of camera fate, so feel free to add anything you feel is... macabre, or bizarre enough.

wow, 1500 views and still going, you people are sick!
Pretty good for a thread that's not about "help choose lens", "my camera's ____ sucks" or "X vs. Y: battle of the Megapixels and ISOs, ect"
