If someone has a 70 year old sex toy, that could be kind of interesting.

Even if they take great satisfaction in stocking the right batteries and lube? Would it really be OK to have a vintage dildo cabinet over the fireplace?

Now I'm curious when the first electrical sex toy was invented, and when the first battery (well, smallish battery, not leyden jar or big external battery) powered sex toy was developed.

http://www.vibratormuseum.com/battery/ says 1880, which is kind of terrifying.

I'd still rather have an Enigma, even a 3-rotor, or the Swiss post-WW2 enigma-alike (NEMA or Enigma-K), though.

God damn it, I'm eating. I do recall reading about Cleopatra and a box of bees. The only link I can find is from Gizmodo, and I won't link to that.
