A Dutch man who lost his leg after an accident had the amputated limb preserved and turned into lamp, and then tried to sell the unusual object on eBay. But don't start bidding just yet, because the online auctioneer has already pulled the listing, saying it violates a rule against the sale of body parts, according to the Daily Dot.
Leo Bonten slipped in a pool and broke his leg two years ago, according to Dutch public broadcaster NOS. However, after an infection, the leg had to be amputated earlier this year.
With the help of a pathologist and a lamp maker, Bonten's leg was transformed into what just might be the world's most unusual -- and macabre -- lighting device. The video above (in Dutch, but well worth watching) shows how the lamp was made.
Honestly, that's kinda a good way to make the best of an unfortunate situation. I mean, what else could you do with a severed limb? Might as well get money off it.
