# Woo for bouncy skellingtons...
My mate who did physiotherapy had to get one for his studies. He saved quite a lot of money by only buying a half one, which I thought was a bit crap. If you're going to buy an actual real live dead skeleton, you may as well get the whole thing.

# me too
surely just a north/south half wouldn't be much use?

the benefit of the occasional repost is that others get to see great 'missed' postage

# fancy - did he get the top or the bottom half?
How wierd would just the bottom half be?

edit - ohh! b3tan to the question.

that just the top half wouldn't be wierd?

# Er, either left or right side I think,
rather than top or bottom. Has all the bones in it then, and no duplication...
What really intrigues me is where do they get them from? Do people bequeath them to skeleton supplies companies, or do their families decide that they'd save on burial costs by flogging what's left of their dead relative?

# i think
it's people who 'donate their bodies to medical research'.

i was sickened when i found out my med student flatmate has to cut up whole real dead bodies. yech.

# surely they only squirt preserving fluid?
the blood would be clotted by then.
I can't believe you can buy east/west - I just assumed Tomsk meant North/South!

# they squirt bone juice.
and it stinks, apparently.

i would still vomit.
