Luke Stevenson has a thing for parakeets and 99 cent ice cream cones and he's got a thing

for moustaches and English roses and record-breaking fish too.

I get a bit gaky and start looking into things and then it comes out balls from that basically.

Luke's a photographer.

He's taken photos of all of these things and many more.

He once photographed every single cornflake in a box.

There were 7,122 of them.

Back in 2007, Luke was getting ready to photograph one of these oddities he enjoys.

A bird show in a church outside of London.

So he got to the church and began looking around the space and figuring out how he was

going to set up the shoe.

That is when the vicar came up to him.

When the vicar said to me, would you like to see the clown museum?

They're moving out.

There was a clown museum there as well as again as you do in a church and I went in and

there was all the big shoes and the kind of costumes and posters and things and then there

was this little cabinet with about 40 eggs in it, all these little faces and it had the

little names underneath and it was, I was just like, well, what is that?

I'm Dylan Thoris and this is Atlas Obscura, a celebration of the world's strange, incredible

and wondrous places and today we open that strange cabinet and we find eggs, they're not

merely eggs, but an entire clown code of conduct and there is indeed a clown code of conduct.

Thor, after this.
