More Placenta Weirdness

After posting a few days ago about the doctor who was speculating about the benefits of eating placenta, I realized I had merely scratched the surface of placenta weirdness. There's also a growing interest in placenta art — that is, smearing the placenta against a piece of paper and calling it art.

Another option is to transform your placenta into a placenta teddy bear. Your kid is sure to need years of therapy once he gets old enough to realize what he's been cuddling up with at night.

Alex .. I knew you were somewhat sick and twisted. Thanks for continuing to confirm my suspicions. :gulp:

While the Obstetrician is awaiting third stage after a delivery:

Husband: Dr, when can we resume sexual intercourse?

Obstetrician: Well, it is customary to wait until after the placenta is delivered.

We have had the bear on here but it was a long time ago. The biohazard artwork is new though.

I don't understand why we're getting all wrapped up in placenta again.
