So I came across this in a round about way. I was looking through the stuffed animals on my store's website, looking for any new elephant stuffies... yes, it's an addiction, but I digress.
In my search I came across the strangest stuffie I have ever seen. Check out this company: Giant Microbes. Yes, kids that's correct! Stuffies of bacteria, viruses, and other ookiness. HIV, Hepatitis, Black Death, Ebola, Gangrene, and West Nile are all represented along with the common cold, the Flu, and Herpes. Germs and illnesses, from the common to the deadly. I was honestly never so repulsed and at the same time fascinated!
Oh, and for all my friends in the world of IF... check out the Egg & Sperm stuffies!
So strange!
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
I just love these, I think they're totally adorable (if a bit weird).
ReplyDeleteToo funny.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL is a physician's assistant and once brought my daughter a "stuffed worm" from a medical conference. We later learned it wasn't a "worm," but was gonorrhea. Oh my!
That is SO funny!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen those before, I always thought they were cute! I think my sister and I bought one for my brother once, he's a bit of a germophobe and we thought it was hilarious.
