If, when I finally get out of school and start work, I could get away with having specimens like that in my office without being labeled "freakiest vet ever" I totally would.
PS - I feel that I should take time to note that at this time there is a fake stuffed owl, a cat skeleton, a pair of plastinated kidneys, a small cleared fish, and an over-100 year old cleared bat on my mantle. And one of my housemates has a dermestid beetle tank (used in cleaning specimens for museum collections and such) in her closet.
OT: I was mixing hair colour last night, and since I forgot to grab a crappy piece of Tupperware to use as a vessel, I grabbed a thick plastic black goblet instead.
And as I was adding the bottles of stuff to it, I had this little side-fantasy of how one could buy a potions kit in Hogsmeade that would work sorta like this...'Open ampule, add to goblet...be sure to spin counterclockwise with a glass rod...' Sorta a version of Potions For Dummies.
I can't decide whether these are gorgeous or gruesome. I supposed that's the idea...I kind of like the goatfish, but the gilded roadkill squirrel is a bit too much for me. ;c/
