It is not impossible to tickle oneself! Certain areas of my feet are near impossible to touch without tickling myself. The roof of my mouth is also quite ticklish to my own touch!
The Death Star was also on display in some bar as a lighting device until a fan recognized it and bought it from the owner! It is now worth a lot of moolah…
from some twenty year old internet (or possibly magazine) stories, both Star Wars and the first Indiana Jones movies were very well described as, “the last of the boiler-plate” films, using props gathered from the back of somebody’s motorcycle shop… CGI was about to eclipse the metal-work-shops (and dragons would fly).- both the Death Star – on screen for under 30 seconds – and the Arc of the Covenant Vault – also on screen, “for an incredible 30 seconds” - were described as paintings. Brush and canvas paintings.-- I read the article possibly four times back then. It was extremely credible with many photographs and descriptions.- I’m sorry, John Graziano — I do not believe your trash can story.
John Quincy Adams was skinny-dipping one day, and someone stole his clothes. He finally called to a kid near the river, and told him to go into the White House, up to his bedroom, and get him some more clothes out of the wardrobe and bring them back to him.
That REALLY tells how times have changed: a president, unsupervised; a thief, stealing the president’s clothes (probably didn’t know whose they were); a kid that comes to the river bank to talk to the man; a total stranger being able to enter the White House and get some of the president’s clothes and bring them back…
All pretty unbelievable. But it actually happened.

He could sell that for a bundle now. Even more if it is weatherproof.

Of course John Quincy Adams skinny dipped, bathing suits as we know them weren’t even invented until after about 10 years after he left office
Bathing suits were invented in Bath, England in the late 1800’s during the reign of Queen Victoria

If I was that crew member, I surely wouldn’t have returned it without great compensation.

The term should be “Fatty-dipping”, especially in the U.S.

Umm, I’ve tickled myself. I mean, I might not laugh myself silly, but doing something like gently stroking my foot or my sides does tickle.

There’s no way that Death Star thing happened. I saw it get blown up at the end of the movie.
Should I have said, “Spoiler alert??”

The Cowardly Lion costume that Bert Lahr wore in “The Wizard of Oz” was rescued from the trash – twice.
