A long time ago, this debate raged through the forums, and a little contest was almost brought out of it but never came to fruition. That contest was The Greatest Inaninimate Object in the Universe, and I hope to bring that back. But first, we need to come up with ideas. There is the previous list, sure... but that's no good, because it's five years old. The universe has changed! Well, not on a drastic level, but hey, well go with it.
So, what do you think is as cool as a bucket? Or - heaven forbid - cooler than a bucket!? I know, I know. Not much is cooler than a bucket, but hey, we can pretend.
Rule
We're talking inaninmate objects, here. None of this "The feeling you get when..." or "that one movie where..." or "the video game known as...". That's cheating! Inanimate objects should be material objects without life. And a movie is not a material object. A DVD or a Blu-Ray disc is. But they're not even close to as cool as a bucket, so don't even [sudden end of sentence]!
