Some objects are pretty, some are practical… and some come with a side of doom. In this episode, we chat about three of the most famous “why would you even touch that?” items out there. The Dybbuk Box, basically a wine cabinet with trust issues, the Busby Chair, a seat you definitely don’t want to get comfortable in, and the Hope Diamond, a sparkling rock that may be more bad luck than bling. From...
