Few months ago I was researching various games and found a parlour game called ["Elephant's foot umbrella stand"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant%27s%5Ffoot%5Fumbrella%5Fstand?ref=becomingjj.com). It is a funny game, similar to one we used to play as kids, where each player adds a word or a phrase to an ever expanding sentence that then has to be repeated by the next player before he adds in a new word or phrase. Click on the link above to read more about the rules on Wikipedia.

I found it an interesting piece of information and filed it for later in a dark corner of my mind. I didn't think much of the games title until I saw THIS on sale:

The item's price is $995 and can be bought on [topsy design's website](http://www.topsydesign.com/search/label/categories%3A%20taxidermy?ref=becomingjj.com).

Now I'm very slightly disturbed and creeped out. It does seem like an actual elephant's foot, hollowed out. Certainly this is not a piece of furniture that I would allow anywhere near me - and I'm not normally terribly against products made from animals or taxidermy.

Gross.
