I'll admit that at first,Samsung PL200 Silver, I thought the idea of a museum dedicated to barbed wire was pretty weird and possibly a little dull. How many types of barbed wire can there really be? As it turns out,Sony Z133GX/S Silver, thousands. Some of them have some real personality to them, too. One looks like a series of miniature spurs. Another comes in a cheerful shade of red. Some look like wicked ribbons. Festive,Toshiba L655, but dangerous.

MCLEAN,Nokia 5530 XpressMusic white blue, Texas--Most people don't think twice about barbed wire,BlackBerry Curve 8900 black, unless they happen to be cattle ranchers,Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, farmers,Samsung AQ100, or junkyard owners. You don't have to be any of those to step into the Devil's Rope Museum on Route 66 here in McLean, Texas,Kodak C142 Blue, and immerse yourself in the history and lore of the pointy fencing material.
It's like a huge ball of twine, only much more pointy.

One thing is certain: I will never look at barbed wire the same way again. Drop me a line if you happen to have a spare 18-inch strand of "Spur Rowel" wire laying around. I need a centerpiece for my collection.

One surprise is the level of ingenuity surrounding the cult of barbed wire. Do-it-yourselfers have adapted the material into sculptures, crows have woven it into nests,Apple iPhone 3G 16GB black, and inventors have dedicated countless hours to one-upping each other on barbed wire design and technology. Barbed wire should make it onto every serious maker's materials list.
I was seriously considering starting up my own barbed wire collection by the time I made it into the gift shop. Like many offbeat and obsessive hobbies, it can add up. Certain pieces of rare barbed wire fetch hundreds of dollars among collectors.
The idea for barbed wire first popped up in the mid-1800s. An endless stream of innovations and adaptions have radiated out ever since. It's not all strings of wire at the Devil's Rope. You can ogle post hole diggers,Sony T99 Black, cattle brands,BlackBerry Curve 8350i, decorative fence toppers,Toshiba X100, salesman samples,HTC Hero, barbed wire art,Nokia E71 gray, and fence-making machines that could double as medieval torture devices.
