Ten strange items FOUND Magazine found in Colorado

FOUND Magazine, and the books it inspired, are exactly what they sound like, except more glorious and way more voyeuristic. Fans send in context-free notes, letters and photos created by strangers and discovered in classrooms, on street corners and spaces in between -- and our fair state fares swimmingly in the strangeness department. Below, we've collected a list of the ten best Colorado finds on FOUND's website.

As you read through the list, curated by FOUND creators Davy and Peter Rothbart, know this: The brothers are heading to Denver on October 24 to discuss a new book of personal essays, a new album and, of course, a new issue of FOUND. How many Colorado discoveries will make the cut?

Number 10: It's the stationery, borrowed from a Keebler elf during his lunch break at the cookie factory, that really speaks sincerity. The author is clearly beside hims(elf).

Number 4: Discovered in a classroom at the University of Colorado's Colorado Springs campus, this note later provided the fodder for a groundbreaking test case in psychological and acid refluxical history. Number 3: According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the pelvic floor is the "group of muscles that form a sling or hammock across the opening of a woman's pelvis." According to this note, it's the cure of all neuroses. But what happens if you develop a neurosis after looking up the term "pelvic floor"?

Good heart, even better note. Number 1: This Durango resident's plan is genius, and none of it could possibly backfire.
