What is the weirdest thing you've ever ordered online?
Now, I'm thinking about ordering ordering new eyeglasses online. Again, I've always left this up to brick-and-mortar shops but with prices, selection and time all being an issue, I'm going to take a chance.
This makes me wonder.... what's the weirdest thing that you've ever bought online?

I've got:
A Red Swingline Stapler
A Staple Free Stapler
Walking Mini Turtles
Various Disease Cuddlies (My favorite being the Common Cold)
Glow-in-the-Dark LED Jellyfish
Smart Mass (Silly Putty but much more awesome)
And
A mini Plasma Ball
The weirdest thing, however, was my fake Xbox 360.
Story: When the Xbox 360 first came out, I couldn't find it in stores anywhere, so I resorted to eBay. Unfortunately, the system I bid on was being sold by a scammer, so I ended up with the Xbox 360 box, an extension cord, and a Styrofoam block with XBOX 360 scribbled in green marker.

@thelastscion They are little stuffed "teddy bear" type of dolls
Is that a hat or a pillow?
As far as the weirdest thing I've ever ordered online? Well, I suppose it depends upon what one considers 'weird'.. I think some of the other responses are funny, and I'm surprised at how popular thinkgeek is.
Probably the most unusual thing I've personally gotten off of ebay is an a vintage Atari video effects generator. I've also arranged to acquire 30,000 anatomical rubber hearts; they were free but it required many emails and a few phone calls over several months, and arranging for a moving truck. We plan on turning them into an arts based fundraiser for a health charity.
I suppose if it exists and is legal to sell, someone is out there buying things even weirder than we can imagine.

M$Mine cracked, and I was actually able to find someone on eBay who took his camera apart and was selling the individual parts.

M$A few years ago we redid a kitchen with items mostly purchased on Ebay including a double oven, 36" cooktop, double sink, faucet and even chunks of Zodiaq countertop!

M$I found a key chain on eBay that was two horses... breeding. The funniest thing about it was it MOVED. It was hysterical and he absolutely adored it.
