In 2007 my friend had us both cosplay as different versions of Syaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura, and he made me this cool green cape (while I made the cool astrolabe-y staff). I forgot about the cape for 18 years, until I discovered yesterday my brother still had it!

Unexpected tech connection of the day: mustard gas → chemotherapy, after it was noticed during WWII that soldiers exposed to the chemical weapon had lower white blood cell levels, and nitrogen mustard compounds (chlormethine) could therefore be injected to treat lymphoma
