Very Expensive, and Slightly Obscene, Plate
This isn’t really “medical science,” but that was the best I could come up with from the current list of categories. It’s a photo of a plate that is believed to have been made by Italian Renaissance ceramicist Francesco Urbini in the 16th century; apparently a British museum just paid 240,000 pounds for it. It depicts a man’s head made entirely of, um, well, penisis.
Which is pretty cool. But not as cool as the little fantasy I just played in my head, in which a sweet, grandmotherly woman brings it in to be appraised by the experts on Antiques Roadshow, and they have to decide whether or not they can air it.
