I know, getting part of the womb is quite the placentive!
Can’t help but think that the description is kind of cotyledon me on though – it’s really only a small portion of it. Still, after mulling it over, I’ve formalin-ed my opinion and it’s still a pretty good deal.
Someone must have killed him…you know, when they killed his mom. But whose first thought upon finding a surprise in their dissection specimen is, “Etsy!”
And now I’m having a flashback to my college biology class, where we had to dissect a rat. It wasn’t till i cut her open that I realized she was pregnant, and the chloriform hadn’t killed the fetuses (feti?)
The instructor drown them while I was busy throwing up my last three days meals in the restroom.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill Burton – he was dead when we met!”
I think this is the first time that an excerpt from a court transcript has been used as an advertising pitch.
“Noggin doesn’t have any eyes, but blind animals ‘see with their heart’. Won’t you please consider adopting this poor little headless pig and loving him forever?”
You know what, I think I’m actually starting to like this seller.
I must have watched too many episodes of the show “Oddities”. This fetal sheep is actually kind of cute. I wouldn’t buy the placenta though, that’s a whole bunch of WTF right there.. I really don’t want to buy something like this on etsy though because the transport would be a nightmare. Don’t think you can ship things in formaldehyde via post anyway.
I saw the thumbnail on Facebook and thought, “There’s no way the big picture could be even more vomit-inducing because I’m already throwing up in my mouth a little.”
“Just don’t place it somewhere that it can be accessed by live animals or small children because the lid is NOT childproof and may come off if it is knocked over.”
Yeah, I’m thinking I’d be keeping that away from my small children, but not because of the lid.
I don’t understand, is it legal to sell stuff like that? And what about shipping dead animals and/ or animal parts, is that even allowed? I was quite shocked to find that she’s had 116 sales, including this erhm, well yea I don’t know: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/86350378
The seller identifies herself as a female on her profile http://www.etsy.com/people/KiloDog?ref=owner_profile_leftnav and refers to herself as a female in some of the listings (see Dingleberry the shark fetus…I can’t believe I just typed that)
What puzzles the heck out of me is her assertion in more than one listing that she dissected a sheep placenta to retrieve the fetus inside. Unless sheep are markedly different from most other mammals, the fetus and the placenta are discrete structures linked by the umbilical cord. The fetus is contained in the amniotic sac and normally lies between the placenta and the cervix.
I’ve transcribed hundreds of (human) obstetric ultrasounds and it would be mortifying to discover that I have it all wrong.
My personal favorite is for Dingleberry the shark fetus http://www.etsy.com/listing/107063580/shark-fetus-with-yolk-sac-attached-wet I would buy this item if it came with a plaque engraved with the seller’s words: “so I cut into it and…HOLY CRAP! SHARK FETUSES!!! I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world! “

Ewe.
October 8, 2012 at 10:06 am
I agree. That’s baa-aa-aad.
October 8, 2012 at 10:08 am
Yaak!
October 8, 2012 at 10:10 am
I’m lamb-enting the fact that I ever saw this offal thing.
October 8, 2012 at 10:20 am
65 dollars?
I think it should be sheeper.
October 8, 2012 at 10:46 am
Or at least offer free sheeping.
October 8, 2012 at 6:14 pm
I disagree. If you pay $65 you are getting fleeced.
October 8, 2012 at 8:07 pm

October 8, 2012 at 12:09 pm
Why do Etsy sellers ram dead stuff down our throats?
October 8, 2012 at 1:20 pm
The fetus is $65, the placenta throw in for free.
October 8, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Well, part of the placenta. Though maybe he didn’t have rumen for the whole thing.
October 8, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Sheerly, just for the fun of it. Mutton but wool gathering going on in their brains.
October 8, 2012 at 7:01 pm
I lamb-ent that they named it
October 8, 2012 at 10:04 am
so you’re offering up a sheep fetus and placenta and the reassurance is that you did kill it? I don’t think that is the worry here.
October 8, 2012 at 11:20 am
Someone must have killed him…you know, when they killed his mom. But whose first thought upon finding a surprise in their dissection specimen is, “Etsy!”
October 8, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Maybe he just found her dead as well. What else cud he do?
October 8, 2012 at 6:11 pm
The seller didn’t kill it! He just died for some reason when they cut open the placenta.
October 8, 2012 at 8:10 pm
Yeah, if you think you can embalm a ewe and find a live fetus, then uterine for a surprise.
October 8, 2012 at 9:51 pm

October 8, 2012 at 10:08 am
That would look lovely on my mantle.
October 8, 2012 at 10:09 am
Well now, “super cool sheep fetus” is not something you hear every day.
October 8, 2012 at 10:11 am
“Wet Specimen”
I don’t even have anything clever to say about this. It just makes me clench.
October 11, 2012 at 4:41 pm
We used to just call them “pickles.”
October 8, 2012 at 10:13 am
“We met while I was dissecting a pregnant sheep’s placenta” doesn’t actually answer any of my questions. It just adds several new ones.
October 8, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Like why the fuck the seller named it?
October 8, 2012 at 10:13 am
If only it was in a mason jar.
October 8, 2012 at 10:33 am
And embellished with some mint jelly green glitter antlers!
October 8, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Oh yes, an recycled, vintage jar complete with a lid that has a “charming patina” (lots of rust for newbies).
October 9, 2012 at 10:27 am
This is obviously an amateur seller. A true professional would display a dead fetus on old barn wood.
October 8, 2012 at 10:14 am
Little Bo Peep is going to be so pissed.
October 8, 2012 at 10:22 am
and little boy blew…chunks
October 8, 2012 at 10:16 am
We need to View It In A Room. [Or a pasture?]
October 8, 2012 at 10:47 am
View it in a womb.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill Burton – he was dead when we met!”
I think this is the first time that an excerpt from a court transcript has been used as an advertising pitch.
October 8, 2012 at 10:31 am
This sounds like exerts from a lost scene from Silence of the Lambs “Why no Clarice, I didn’t kill Burton – he was dead when we met”
October 8, 2012 at 1:55 pm
“And now I’m going to eat his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
October 8, 2012 at 10:22 am
From the shop announcement: “I’ve got some cool things in the works, so check back often!” Never has the phrase “in the works” sounded so terrifying.
October 8, 2012 at 10:24 am
Coming soon a new Etsy Collection from the estate of Shari Lewis

October 8, 2012 at 10:41 am
I admit it’d have been better if it wasn’t given a name, but hey, just another day which called for a NSFS post. (S is for sanity.)

October 8, 2012 at 1:22 pm
When you dissect a dead sheep, the natural consequence is a knitted skull shape? I must be missing some cultural reference here.
October 8, 2012 at 1:25 pm
I saw vomit. Interesting rorschach test.
October 8, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Is it wrong that I thoght of Tim Burton right away?
October 8, 2012 at 10:43 am
This little lamb of mine
I’m gonna soak in brine….
October 8, 2012 at 10:45 am
She’s also got a ferret penis for sale: http://www.etsy.com/listing/110804333/ferret-penis-baculum-wet-specimen
I’m going to need $20.
October 8, 2012 at 11:22 am
And a deformed fetal pig! The description is priceless.

October 8, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Nope, not cute. It’s probably a zombie. I saw Black Sheep. (The sheep zombie movie.) I know how it all starts: with a preserved zombie sheep fetus.
October 8, 2012 at 3:12 pm
WTF does this seller do for a living outside of the etsy gig???
October 8, 2012 at 7:05 pm
She seems to be really into the “wet” thing. I’m beginning to wonder if the specimens are wet, or if she is!
October 8, 2012 at 10:46 am
And the rooty tooty fresh and fruit I just wolfed down apparently comes back up just as fruity, not as fresh when staring at a lamb fetus.
Godddddddd damnnnnnnnnnnn ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee
October 8, 2012 at 12:30 pm
oh, I just LOVE this screenname.
October 8, 2012 at 10:47 am
*sigh* I would have totally bought this if little Burton was laying on some barn wood.
October 8, 2012 at 10:52 am
I saw the thumbnail on Facebook and thought, “There’s no way the big picture could be even more vomit-inducing because I’m already throwing up in my mouth a little.”
I was wrong.

Mary had a little lamb… She put it in a fcuking jar!
October 8, 2012 at 3:14 pm

“Just don’t place it somewhere that it can be accessed by live animals or small children because the lid is NOT childproof and may come off if it is knocked over.”
Yeah, I’m thinking I’d be keeping that away from my small children, but not because of the lid.
October 8, 2012 at 11:46 am
This listing explains (a little) why she sells weird shit.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/98777136/my-own-prison-drug-addiction-framed
Gotta say, it’s brave of her to admit to it…
October 8, 2012 at 1:12 pm
But she never actually admits to an addiction, just tries to sound like she knows all about them.
October 8, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Those are a LOT of pills.
October 8, 2012 at 6:29 pm
and of course, she’s from Ohio. sheesh…. or sheep?
October 8, 2012 at 7:11 pm
And is looking off away from the camera in her profile shot. So etsy-esque
October 8, 2012 at 12:16 pm
Turns out a sheep placenta looks a lot like one of those steamed dumplings you get at Chinese food places.
Huh.
October 8, 2012 at 12:31 pm
but Dim Sum is actually yummy, sheep placenta, not so much.
October 8, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Can’t have a kid but still batshit insane enough to want to make a placenta print!
I have good news for you.
October 8, 2012 at 12:43 pm
That exclamation point was supposed to be a question mark. I have no idea what came over me.
October 8, 2012 at 1:21 pm
“We met while I was dissecting a pregnant sheep’s placenta”
Who hasen’t ?
October 8, 2012 at 2:46 pm
I met my fetal lamb on eHarmony.
October 8, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Well, it is a Christian dating service Lambs are popular there.
October 8, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Thought #1: The amateur scientist in me is fascinated and examining this carefully.
Thought #2: It would take quite a few shots of Strega and/or good Icelandic vodka to get that down….
October 8, 2012 at 3:04 pm
I regretsy browsing here while eating.
October 8, 2012 at 3:33 pm
I found myself holding my breath looking at this so I couldn’t smell it.

“We met while I was dissecting a pregnant sheep’s placenta”
So they met cute then! Just like a romantic comedy.
October 8, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Yay! I found this for us FJL’s!!
October 8, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Ewww. Just Ewww!
October 8, 2012 at 6:39 pm
At first I was grossed out. And then she started calling it Burton and I was like “Awww, how cute, I want it!” What the fuck is wrong with me?
October 8, 2012 at 6:59 pm
I wonder if the EPA might be interested in this
October 8, 2012 at 7:06 pm
biohazards floating around in the us postal system….condoned by etsy….how wonderful
October 8, 2012 at 7:03 pm
We’ve seen some gross shit here, but this one actually made me heave.
I’m not sure I want to know anything more about someone who performs a dissection and thinks, “man, there is a MARKET for this!!”
October 8, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Why is everyone referring to this seller as ‘she’ and ‘her’?
I’m pretty sure the seller is a dude. His hairy masculine tattooed hand is visible in some of his photos.
October 9, 2012 at 11:51 am
The seller identifies herself as a female on her profile http://www.etsy.com/people/KiloDog?ref=owner_profile_leftnav and refers to herself as a female in some of the listings (see Dingleberry the shark fetus…I can’t believe I just typed that)
October 8, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I hope that poor dog in the avatar pic ran the fuck away before it became another “science project”!
October 8, 2012 at 7:44 pm
oh good… he’s open to trades….
October 8, 2012 at 11:35 pm

Time for haggis?
October 9, 2012 at 8:26 am
Christ Almighty – the seller has tons of that stuff.
October 9, 2012 at 11:49 am
My personal favorite is for Dingleberry the shark fetus http://www.etsy.com/listing/107063580/shark-fetus-with-yolk-sac-attached-wet I would buy this item if it came with a plaque engraved with the seller’s words: “so I cut into it and…HOLY CRAP!

Dingleberry the Shark Fetus is going on my list of Great Names for My Future Band.
October 9, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Sweet Jesus this is awful. Shouldn’t that kind of crap be illegal? Or… Something to make it stop??
October 9, 2012 at 5:58 pm
What does it say about me that I think this is adorable.
October 9, 2012 at 6:50 pm
I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THIS TODAY
October 10, 2012 at 1:24 am
Are we really so far gone that we are naming our dead sheep fetuses?
October 11, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Eh, I don’t think it’s that weird. All the lab dissections I’ve ever done, the specimens always get named.
October 11, 2012 at 4:35 pm
What’s bothering me most about this shop is the “lamprey eel.” LAMPREYS ARE NOT EELS! EELS ARE FISH! LAMPREYS ARE NOT!
