Feb 6th, 2018 : Foot Table

♫ I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye ♪
♫ But I be done seen 'bout ev'rything
When I see a foot table, guy ♪

Created by Efisio Marini, an Italian naturalist doctor, this table is made completely out of human remains, including petrified brain, blood, liver, bile, lung, and glands. On the top of the table sits a foot, four ears, and a cut vertebrae. It is housed as the Museum of the History of Medicine, located in Paris, France.

It's things like this that make me wonder about checking off the box to be an organ donor. What exactly am I agreeing to?

That sure doesn' t look like a real foot.

Where one go to find petrified bile?

It's on the grocery store shelf, next to the aviator goggles.

Not organ donating, per se...
