Sure! Often times when there is a meet and greet or signing, fans will bring gifts for the band. They used to just have a box at the table that they would put them all in and then open them after the show whenever they had a chance. Well one "adoring" fan decided it would be best to gift them their ear. No shit. So now, all gifts are prescreened so that if there are any ears or toes or hair or anything else crazy, the band doesn't have to open it. Cause yeah... Ear. TL;DR: Band received an ear as a gift from a nutty fan.

Jared: First off, thank you for doing this AMA! I'm beyond excited to see your portrayal of Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club. I'll be seeing it in Detroit when it comes out!!

I've been in the Echelon since being introduced to your debut album in 2004 and have seen Thirty Seconds to Mars 7 times live with the 8th coming up in December in Indianapolis. I got to do the meet in greet once in 2006 at Lollapalooza, and once more just about a month ago in Columbus. You guys are so awesome and down to earth! Thank you so much for really recognizing your fans and for the music that you make. It has been the sound track to my life through the years; helping me through my father's passing in 2009, the birth of both of my children (I listened to Northern Lights on the way to have my son) and so much more. THANK YOU. My questions: With over two decades of fame, both on film and as a musician and documentary film maker, etc, how do you stay grounded? You always seem so down to earth and it's awesome.

Also, how do you have time to do everything you do?!? Travel the world touring, make short films, star in epic movies, have time for fans, the list goes on! You're amazing :) Thank you once again, tell Shannon and Tomo hello as well!

Recently heard "The Ear" story. Truly WTF

Not sure, it came on a string, like a necklace, and I believe they turned it over to police. Gross any way you slice it. (See what I did there?)
