Allow me to distract you with this tidbit from wikipedia: "In 1918, certain remains of Geronimo were stolen in a grave robbery. Three members of the Yale secret society of Skull and Bones served as Army volunteers at Fort Sill during World War I; one of those three members was Prescott Bush, father of the forty-first President of the United States George H. W. Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush. They reportedly stole Geronimo's skull, some bones, and other items, including Geronimo's prized silver bridle, from the Apache Indian Prisoner of War Cemetery." The truth of this story is questioned by some. What do you think? 12. A full suit of stainless steel Gothic-style combat armor. Imagine the practical jokes you can play on someone who is dressed in this! 13. A mansion/hotel in the Garden District of New Orleans. It probably has some lovely ghosts.
