I've got more stuff than I initially said in my wallet, I just concentrated on the stuff that made me a Player. Friend of the Tate membership doesn't make me a player, nor does a Sunday Times wine Club handy credit card sized vintage guide.

Credit cards: a Visa issued by my credit union, a Discover card, my personal Amex and a company issued Amex card. Also a Home Depot shopping card.
Cash machine/ATM card
BJs card. Which despite its name does not work as advertised, as I still haven't gotten a BJ for presenting my card.
Photos of my daughters (old school!)
Driver's license, due for renewal with a new photo next year. I'm starting to look less and less like the person on the license, considering the photo was taken in January 2000.
Medical and dental insurance cards
CVS pharmacy card
Library card (again, old school!)
$18 cash
Three spare business cards
Hmph. Not as exciting as I might have hoped...

No...I was just looking for a McGyveresque story of a time in the past where you needed a small piece of duct tape...

How much do you pay the town bike to writhe around on your lap once the much younger wife and kids are in bed then, Ralph?

You should post them here. I remember reading that crowdsourcing was once supposed to be one of the great promises of the interweb. Perhaps this is the time to find out.

I think all matter generates a gravitational field, but a handbag would have to be incredibly dense in order for it to be demonstrable this close to the gravitational pull of Earth itself. In fact, I'm not sure that an object this close to Earth could ever have a gravitational pull of its own.
