Here is a list without context. Can you figure out what these things have in common? In other words, what is this a list of?
the formula for the making of Wrigley's chewing gum
the recipe for Purina Dog Chow
the city records of Chicago and Los Angeles
most of the Walt Disney films, including all of the original prints from the Mickey Mouse Club
109,000 old MGM movies
the wedding dress of a lady from Wichita
fur pelts
a collection of antique newspapers dating back to 1659
copies of Bibles in 1700 languages and dialects
a couple of jars of pickled frogs
After the first two items, you think "corporate secrets!" But no, Bibles and fur pelts wouldn't work. Things that have been lost? If the city records of Chicago and L.A. has been lost, we would have heard about it. No matter what I came up with, the fur pelts and the frogs kept stumping me. The answer is revealed at Weird Universe, along with some extra information on the subject. -via Nag on the Lake
