Only $378.80 (!)
Although it's actually a female pelvis and two fetal heads designed to demonstrate the birth process (here).
I reckon with a bit of fiddling it would make the best bedside light!
Terry Southern on 'Time On The Scows' with Alex Trocchi

"We were barge “Captains,” as they called themselves—rather euphemistically since it was a job so lowly that it was ordinarily held by guys who had been kicked out of the Longshoreman’s Union—old winos and the like, being replaced now by this new breed, the dopehead writer. It was one of those classic writer’s jobs, like hotel clerk, night watchman, fire-tower guy, with practically no duties (“Just keep her tied up and pumped out”). Alex Trocchi found it by chance, wandering around the West Side docks after a few hours at the White Horse Tavern. The guy who did the hiring happened to be Scottish, a Scotsman called Scotty, in fact. So he took a fancy to Alex, Alex being a Ludgate Scholar from Glasgow, who had boss charm besides. (Scottish accent; “Have ye had any experience at sea, lad?” “Only with small craft, sir—punting on the Clyde and the like.” “Good enough, lad, I like the cut of yer jib.” So Alex was in. And about a half a dozen of us—of similar stamp and kidney—were quick to follow … under auspices of The Great Troc."

The Killing of Furkan Dogan? (The Freedom Flotilla)
If this film is genuine - what does it tell you about the 'most moral army in the world' and their claims of self defence?
Ambush Journalism
Do we really want to live in a world where you can get fired because some guy comes up to you unannounced, launches questions for which you haven’t prepared, forces you to say things you had no plans to say, then edits the video down into the most damning soundbite before hanging you with it?MORE

Ezikiel Ch 47: V 13
13: And it came to pass in the city of Jabeth that a dog did bismirch itself in the tavern.
14: Seth, a shepherd, was taken with a mighty thirst and did enter the tavern.
15: A great misfortune befell Seth as he bestrode the cur's befoulment.
16: Seth beslid into the wall with a mighty crash.
17; And Seth did wail and make great lamantations.
18: Jethro, a moneylender, did moments later enter the tavern. For he too was taken with a mighty thirst.
19: Jethro did also bestride the befoulment.
20: And once more there was a mighty crash and Jethro was filled with sorrow.
21: "Verily", quoth Seth, "I just did that".
22: And Jethro did smite Seth.
