Weird Things People Keep In Jars
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.
Oddly, some people keep people in jars. This guy in Taiwan actually seems very happy.


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.

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
