Actually it is just a bunch of pictures of this fellows collections. He has many many many many (is that enough?) collections with many many (you get the point) objects in each one.

Bottles, cork pictures, keychains, butterflies, stuffed animals, toy figures, little buildings, etc. etc. ad naseum...

Hmm, no access either. Since the link was posted here and on another site I guess it got overused?

Anyway, I thought it was a good link to show to those who feel guilty about their own collection. :)

I think though that all of us have a little bit of that in use. It probably comes from the days that we were still hunter-gatherers. Especially the gatherers bit. Finn, you know? Any Anthropologists around?

PS, anybody seen the Russian \"Hummer\"? http://www.armoringgroup.com/ Styling is a lot better. If would fit right in with many SF games and movies. :)

It would take me several pages to explain my views on that one:D

Socio-biology/neuro-archaeology provide many good theories about why we behave the way we do however and collecting/hoarding certainly has some evolutionary validity.

Not to that particular extent though:D The woolly mammoths would certainly have beaten up on his gene pool had he, or his ancestors been around:flip:

(Been around any woolly mammoths that is..;) )
