Weird Things People Keep In Jars
People keep all kinds of weird things in jars. From Habu snakes, to one-eyed pigs, to human penises (!!!), here are some of the weirdest. This is in London.
In Laos, they put snakes in jars to make whiskey.
Generally, animals seem to be popular things to keep in jars. This monkey can be found in Tulane University's Museum of Natural History.
You can see this bottle of fish, there too.
You can see this octopus in Vienna's Natural History Museum. Looks like a crazy wig.
Ugh...bugs. In jars. Some of which are hairy. Ugh.
Nicaraguans like to put snakes in jars, too.
People also like to keep aliens in jars! These aliens are in jars in Canada.
However, not all people in jars appear so happy. These kids in Scandinavia seem like they're keeping things pretty bottled up.
Check out this kid in Mexico. He looks like he's about to sneeze.
I guess this guy couldn't fit inside the jar, so they just stuck his left leg -- afflicted with elephantiasis -- in the jar. Poor guy.
Ick...in Cairo.
Also in Cairo:
Can't blame the Egyptians, though, because this baby is in Belhaven Memorial Museum, in NC.
In Vietnam, they call it wine...
...and they use cobras.
Some Japanese make their sake with poisonous Habu snakes.
Oh wait -- I think these are just ginseng.
Snakes are things for Ecuadorians to put in jars, too.
Oddly, some people keep people in jars. This guy in Taiwan actually seems very happy.
And these women on the Great Barrier Reef seem absolutely thrilled to be in jars.
This "cyclops swine" can be found in NC, too!
And, finally, I don't know what this guy is doing carrying his own penis in a jar! Egad!
Why is she smiling like that?!

I really wonder how they fit these heads and animals through the small opening...

Hey I've seen sneeze-baby on the internets before! At least, I've seen another example of the condition, anencephaly. http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/jpeg3/PERI098.jpg

I am on google. I am trying to set up a real eMail path with an incoming mail server (POP3 or IMAP) and an outgoing mail server (SMTP). Nothing I tried works. Nothing. I use HotMail and I can't order anything ,like a Norton360 renewal...
I can't figure out the last photo (self-castration ?)
