Help with Halloween Theme

Our office Halloween theme this year is Carnival Freakshow. Any ideas for costumes, props, general mischief? Thanks in advance.
There's also the person who swallows swords and the guy who pierces himself with long nails.

Conjoined twins, or a less-politically-correct version.

Man–Eating Chicken!
(with a mark somewhere in-between a hyphen and an em dash, you can have either a ferocious chicken or a guy digging on some KFC. As seen on the HBO show Carnivale)

Stock up on Swedish fish for all the geeks!
Spirit gum and beards for the ladies!
Stuffed half-bras and a fishnet stocking for the gents (for hermaphrodites)!
A conjoined malformed twin hanging out of one's head is also real good, though it would probably require some sort of rubber appliance.
Body paint for an illustrated man? Or alternately, someone who has LOTS and LOTS of tats and piercings could just take off their shirt! The possibilities are endless.

Be the light-bulb eating freak. Wear a pure white t-shirt and bring in a lightbulb broken down to the threads (basically just the threads) and if anyone offers you something to eat, turn it down, saying you already ate (pointing to the bulb). Keep doing this, loudly, to practically invite people to offer you food. Then, start in on a big dramatic coughing jag and pop a couple blood capsules in your mouth while you cover your cough. Bite them with your teeth and start coughing up the blood into your hands and cosequently all over your white t-shirt.
You might want to do this in a place that's easily cleaned in case of overflow.
