Thanks for featuring my gallery. I have two additional galleries of weirdness from the commons: More Oddities From the Commons and Oddities from the Commons 3. I also have a couple galleries of peculiar photos which include photos from photostreams across Flickr: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up and Sousaphones Through the Ages.
All these can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/14841959@N06/galleries/
