Default Strangest Cargo

I heard someone mention PPRune and decided to see what the place was like. They had a topic called strangest cargo that was stickied and they had some real interesting things to say! So I figured I ask here. What's the strangest cargo you've had?

Some of theirs included:
A concept lamborgini
A whale
A white rhino being flown to be let loose
A mulit million $ art collection
40 tones of euro's
3 x juvenile Rothschild Giraffe
boullion
11 elephants
dolphins
engines to kuwait confiscated from Saddam


Can anyone here add to this?

The reason they needed to fly it makes it count!

The Pope-mobile.

DSRV's a few times

I remember we un-loaded a container one night, it had what looked like a rock group's stage equipment, we could see the drum set in-side. Pretty cool, don't remember the name of the band that was printed on the drum set though. . . big and little jet engines, lots of flowers, live crickets, fish, lots of live birds lately, body parts. . .

Snakes on a Plane: From ABI to DFW, 4 boxes of live rattlesnakes loaded in the bag compartment of a Bandit. If you know what a Bandit is you know that the cargo compartment is separated by the passenger compartment by a curtain that snaps to inside wall of the fuselage. Good thing the boxes didnt come open in flight!
