This topic will catalogue stuff about which I don't know how to feel.

Case in point: Lamps made from sheeps stomachs

They're pretty to look at.... but....

Would not buy

Might give as a gift (as a subtle hint that I don't really like the recipient all that much )

There's a souvenir shop in QVB that sells jumpers, gloves, scarves, and other various clothing items made out of POSSUM fur. So soft to the touch and beautifully made but....possum!....I don't know how comfortable I could be with myself for paying for that, let alone wearing it!

errrm.... I thought animal fur was banned??

SK - That's a great idea actually!!

Lamps made from sheeps stomachs

Hmmm, just like an illuminated haggis.  

Yummy  

You know, that's what I thought too!

Fully gross

Well, it'd be more gross if it wasn't preserved

I wonder how it feels to touch

Lovely..

It would be soft, don't you think?

Well, a haggis is soft.

mmm yeah

It'd need to be hardened to maintain it's shape - so maybe inflated with air or something and sun-dried ?

Good  point.... all this while I was thinking it kept the shape because it was blown up. IE the material is still flexible

They're full of minced offal, toasted oatmeal, onions and suet! (haggis that is)

Not much room for a bulb then.  Unless you didn't slice up the onions.

LOL!

mmm hmmm
