Strangest Item You've Seen

I felt compelled to start this because I was doing Tombs yesterday, and got a Gold Bow from a chest. Felt pretty good, because drops have been bad lately, and I need a good bow for my other char. Well our group dies, but I figure I'd identify the awesome gold bow I found. "Ebon Flat Bow of Pruning" - I was like what!!?? I've never heard of anything like this - now I can cause massive damage to plants.

I've had a few of these triple-requirements drops as well.
When they first drop, you get all excited!
Then..... (using ID kit)
What the .....?????
(Serious letdown ensues.)
(Now using Salvage kit.... hoping to extract a mod.)
8 Wood planks! Bah!
How about a petition to ANet to keep drops to a max of 2 requirements?
If you don't agree... please state why. I am curious to know if anyone has a real use for a triple-requirement item.

well, there is this staff wrapping - does nothing, just a staff wrapping - no effects on it at all. wish i didn't trash the 2 i had when space became an issue and i didn't have a storage account yet...
the lovely energy -1 item...
and of course all triple-req-staffs that went straight to the merchant.

I found an Idol the other day not far from Grendich Courthouse.
Now someone tell me how that is useful at all? I salvaged it almost instantly; couldn't stand to look at those evil stats any longer than a second or two...
It did look cool though

A Mes/Warrior could use this with arcane mimicry to steal an elite, fire magic skill. It could work for an Illusionary Weapon build where you double nuke with a fire elementalists on your team to weaken your opponent before you start whacking at them.
I think the funniest weapon I saw was a Great Foehammer of Pruning. It had a mod to extend bleeding, but hammers don't cause bleeding so you'll have to be creative to use this.
I once kept a collection of these weird weapons, but alas, had to make room for other weapons.
I saw many three-class weapons over at gwonline.net. There's a whole thread on weird weapons and even a contest. I've been pondering these three class weapons for months. They haunt my dreams at night while I try to find meaning to their existence.

Could it be that these three stat weapons are meant as a convenience? In the perfect case say you get something like this:
Raven Staff
Energy +12
Dark Damage 10-22 req 8 Curses
Halves Casting Time of Death Spells 10% Chance
Halves Casting Time of Blood Spells 10% Chance
Slap some cheap mods on the staff and you've got a decent lowbie staff. It's not great, but it will work well enough for most people early on. The only trouble is that it shouldn't be dropping in UW/FoW/SF. It should be found in chests out in the main map.
EDIT: I thought at some point ArenaNet made a fix to make weapon mods more realistic/appropriate to the weapon. Maybe this is a regression due to the recent spat of changes/updates.

Yeah, they actually put it on a collector.
Maybe it'll be good in Factions?

If I ever find a way that my monk can have 13 Air magic, I'll use it. Until then, it's sitting in my invent as the most interesting/useless item I've picked up.

Here's Mine... I actually submitted a support case to NC Soft / ANet
Here's the responce:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting Guild Wars Support. The staff is likely fine and working as intended, just gives multiple professions good abilities by using the staff. If you wish you can send us a screenshot and we can look further into the details of the weapon for any unintended features of it. If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to contact us.
Regards,
The Guild Wars Support Team
------------------
This was like responce # 3 and I had already attached the screen shot and notified them that it was attached.
