Thrift shop finds: Shoes
There is an abundance of valuable treasures you can find, if you know where to look for it. You just have be patient and have some background knowledge about the genre you're looking for, eg. shoes, watches, jeans. And rid yourself of the Chinese phobia of having "old" things (I prefer to call them vintage). I found these shoes at junk shops in JB for a good bargain (yes, you need basic bargaining skills too!)

I read from a human sexuality paper that humans most probably got HIV from a small population of chimps in Africa when the hunter handled the bloody carcasses of the chimps while he had open wounds on his hands. Then he goes home to his wife and spun a whole new strand of disease.
A nice collection of shoes Chris* :) the condom factory seemed like an adventure too.
