Actually... I'll open up the question to everyone: "What's the weirdest 3D
item you've ever seen?">

Well, Chuck, "weird" is a very subjective thing but...

Among my more unusual anaglyphic 3-D projects are a (1986) color 3-D 
mural for Playmates of Hollywood (exotic lingerie store),  (1992) 3-D 
underwear for Joe Boxer (they also glowed in the dark) and a (1989) 
shadowgraph show for a band named Haunted Garage featuring anaglyphic 
shadows of a mohawk-coifed dominatrix lashing her hapless slave with 
a cat-o-nine-tails.

Many stereoviews have been produced throughout history with explicit 
sex but its darker side with S&M, spankings and bondage have also 
been featured in stereocards.  A 1992 Taschen book "Jeux De Dames 
Cruelles, 1850-1960" by Serge Nazarieff with numerous stereoviews 
included illustrates just how extensive this history is.

APEC III member Hayden Baldwin for several years has produced 
forensic stereophotography  with scenes of crimes, accidents etc.  A 
few years ago Susan Pinsky assisted 3-D artist Steve Aubrey in 
stereophotography of an autopsy.  Along these same lines the great 
tabloid photographer "WeeGee" (Arthur Fellig) famous for his B&W New 
York newsphotos of accidents, crimes and disasters, (collected in a 
celebrated 1948 book called "The Naked City") very likely also 
experimented with stereophotography.

And, among 3-D movies, I don't think you can get any weirder than the 
scene in Andy Warhol's (1974) "Flesh for Frankenstein" where the 
bloody liver on a pole is extended (excessive parallax and all) out 
into the audience!
