Warehouse 13 and El Kabong

I love the new show Warehouse 13 on SciFi (I refuse to call it Syfy. Poor spelling is NOT cool.).
.
If you haven't seen it, the basic plot of the show is that these secret government agents go out and recover artifacts with strange and dangerous powers to lock them away in the titular warehouse. Each episode is a new search for new artifacts.

I was delighted when Lewis Carroll's looking glass made an appearance on the show. Other artifacts that have been featured on the show are Houdini's wallet and the Guillotine blade that that killed Marie Antionette.

The website for the show is fun, too. You can look up other artifacts in the warehouse like Agatha Christie's typewriter and John Dillinger's pistol.

You can also consign your own artifact (really any object you have laying around the house) to the website as a warehouse artifact. Here is what I submitted:

Object: El Kabong's Kabonger

Effect: This four string guitar was primarily used as a weapon. It has the ability to repair itself by the next episode and be held without the aid of opposable thumbs.
