Steve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

I always loved these homunculi drawings in intro psych and neuro books. These sculptures from the London Natural History Museum are even better!
And finally if you have no idea what the heck is going on here. Wikipedia has a good description of the homunculus.
[edit by Sandra - in keeping with our new R-rating, see the NSFW image of a proposed revision involving the penis. Read more here. Oh, and I find it curious/sexist that I can't find an image representing a female homunculus...]

It would be cool to see a series of these for other animals, say rat, raccoon, star-nosed mole, platypus etc.

Any one know if/where you can buy these? I'd love a couple on my mantle.
