    Just in my room and noticed that I saw both my oldest and newest possessions, nothing too exciting mind but maybe some of you can do better :pac:

    Oldest : A book from 1864 called Murrays Compedium of Logic. Found it in my house and kind of assumed ownership of it as it now lies in my room :p

    Newest : Pretty cool shirt and t-shirt I got in Galway a couple of weeks back

    Oldest? I've a bit of a meteorite that's a few years older than the earth. On a human scale I have a stone tool used by an ancestor of us that's 500,000 years old. Even after half a million years it still fits the hand beautifully. More the left hand so he was a freaky leftie. probably a ginger as well :) Lovely workmanship though. You can tell he or she put thought into it so long ago. The rest? I've loadsa old shíte :D

    Newest? Two nice Valentino and Liberty shirts I bought yesterday.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    My oldest isn't very old really. It's a teddy bear my girlfriend got me around 7 years ago soon after we started going out.

    My newest is both a book called "The Junior Officers Reading Club: Killing Time and Fighting Wars" by Patrick Hennessey and a new shirt I had built from scratch.

    I don't really own anything that old. The oldest would be a 1974 Vespa.

    Newest - a new table & chairs for the kitchen that arrived today, though the table is made from what seems to be an old wagon wheel & axle.
