The things one thinks of at tax time

Last night, over some very bad Thai food, Josh and I were wondering what happens to Constitutional amendments once they're offically real amendments. It's been a quite a few years since I've seen the original US Constitution in DC, but I seem to recall some old parchment in a glass case. I don't remember seeing any more recent papers stapled or taped to it, nor any post-its slapped on top. So, where are the more recent amendments, anyway? Is there an official copy somewhere, or do they only exist as very high-profile, hotly debated ideas? If I decided to get on my soapbox and say that there's no such thing as the 16th amendment, that it's just a figment of our imaginations, could anyone prove me wrong?
