Bone Up On Anatomy

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.

Chew Your Food

Your mom always tiold you not to swallow gum, and here’s another good reason to leave the sticky stuff out of your stomach — you can make fantastic art with it. Kevin Van Aelst has fashioned his chewed-up Bubble Yum and Trident into a wonderfully tiny digestive system, stuck it under a table, and took a photo. Take the time to check out his chromosomes fashioned from Gummi Worms and heart made from a pile of laundry. {via Boing Boing}

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!

Tangled up in Pink

I didn’t think anything could compete with these Meat socks by RockSocks.net, but these fabulous pink intestine socks by AshiDashi, a company that makes a slew of super-cute and weird socks, are seriously amazing. [via Cool Hunting]

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.

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.

Shiny Sparkly Guts!

We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.
