Here's a bit of weirdness I saw on Friday but didn't have time to blog - a Botticelli-inspired monument to the enema:
A health spa in Russia has unveiled a bronze monument of three cherubs carrying an enema, a design inspired by the 15th century Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli. (source)
What do you think? What other potentially embarassing medical procedures deserve their own tributes in bronze? (Endoscopy, you may be next. . .)

How about a huge-ass bronze statue of a prostate exam?
Does Orac know about this? Classic EneMan!
A large, pink jumping mattress, where you can jump in search for hidden lumps. Optionally with a nipple in the middle.
"Now cough!"
"...where you can jump in search for hidden lumps."
Potentially hilarious moment:
"Hey, crutches boy, what happened to your ankle?"
"Breast cancer."

have a look on that website-I just found it - the art is really interesting, the way they are mixing organic elements in that crazy illustrated book is amazing. the first illustration seems to depict something like a molecule war - crazy
I hope for those cherub's sake that the enema hasn't been used yet.
