I spent a couple hours wandering the Wellcome Collection today. It's "a free destination for the incurably curious." It's awesome.
These are vitamins and herbal supplements carved into the shape of the body part they are intended to help

A chair used exclusively for torture (and chairs for child birth and dentistry in the background. I think they're making a JOKE!)
Unfortunately, these are apparently only for children. I think this should be clearer.
Knives and masks and drawers! (Actually, the open drawer had a picture of a Lohan (no) which (IRONY) is a person who has reached the last stage of an enlightenment before Bodhisattvahood.)
These are meant to prevent male masturbation. NATCH.
A chastity belt
Shoes for bound feet
Photographs weren't allowed at my favorite gallery featuring an exhibit on identity. There is a high speed video camera set up so that people look like ghosts (called, appropriately, Hereafter) and there's a database to research surnames. For every million, there are 466.16 people in France and 61.6 people in the US with the last name Caron. There are 321.33 people per million with the last name Schuler in Switzerland.
At least I got to take one of these fun activity books to remember it by!
Did you know that though only one out of every 80 births results in twins, approximately one out of every eight people had a twin during the early stages of prenatal development?
Maybe that's why you're so lonely!
