Guts in Gotham

Many of you have written in to suggest making some sort of graphic showing where all the guts and glands live in the body, and I’ve finally gotten around to creating one. It’s even got rollovers so you can learn more about, say, your pineal gland, should you have time to squander. For the purposes of simplicity, we’ve made the body a hermaphrodite — she’s got a uterus to go with her prostate and testes! We’ll call her/him Hermie.

Gorgeous veggie body poster by the International Vegetarian Union. Love them cauliflower lungs! Reminds us of illustrator Kyle Bean’s work, in the same vein of bodily vegetables, or Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Created by JWT Kuwait. {via Boing Boing. Thanks, Russ!}

Some really cute organs star in the opening sequence for “Doktor Asa,” a Swedish television show about human anatomy and taking good care of our bodies. The ridiculously adorable title sequence was created and produced by Upper First. {via Street Anatomy}

Yes, you can have your liver and eat it too with these anatomically correct chocolates from Visual Anatomy. They don’t stop at organs, though, the collection includes knee joints and even a chocolate pelvis. Generously packaged with four chocolate kidneys to a box! As they say on the website, Bone Appetite!
Guts Blowing Up

German artist and self-proclaimed nut Christoph Brach serves up his commentary on human anatomy with help from a little bit of rubber and a whole lot of oxygen. What an impressive set of guts!
Test For Humans

Considering the fact that I look at internal organs all day long for a living, my score on the name all the internal organs in four minutes quiz is shamefully bad. I only got 15 out of 24 total organs, isn’t that pathetic? Granted, it was mainly because I didn’t really read the directions and forgot to pluralize things like parathyroids and ovaries (and jeez, who knew the esophagus would be included, but skin wouldn’t? And they rejected spelling gallbladder as one word. I say, look it up in the dictionary, bitches). Anyway, learn from my mistakes, pluralize, and take the quiz. The clock does start ticking right away, so be ready to go when you click on the link and don’t dawdle like I did.
Our guts need to make friends with Gut Whisperer

Why, oh why, don’t they make these for adults? I think that fabulous brain headband is set to sweep those lame metallic headbands worn by the likes of Paris Hilton aside in the world of fashion trendmaking. You heard it here first. Thanks to Julie W. for tipping me off to this fabulous gutsy apron by Lakeshore.
Sew Darn Cute

I cannot resist the adorable wares at Loyal Army, they truly make the cutest stuff on earth, and now they have a cute heart trapped inside a ribcage. How I wish we had financial backing like they must have — they’ve got a huge range of stuff — allover print hoodies, kids stuff, etc. etc. Seeing such cute stuff is good for anyone obsessed with putting faces on inanimate objects. But I digress. You’ll be seeing even more and more from them this year, especially since they signed a licensing deal with the big boys.
