These sites are completely fake, but they're fascinating anyway.
Phil sent me a link to the Museum of Fantastic Specimens, a bizarre collection of strange creatures. It's all in Japanese, but Pink Tentacle has a brief guide in English.
Several people let me know about this one: if you prefer your fake organisms to be the product of fake synthetic processes rather than fake natural ones, you want a GenPet.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Does one have to fake an orgasm to get one?
What a nightmarish life for the poor little one.. reminds me of Saturday Night Live's "Bathroom Monkey".

I spent a couple of hours browsing through the 'Museum of Fantastic Specimens' yesterday. I'd love to have some of those things, to the extent where I ordered what I believe to be 2 of the artist's books from Amazon.jp. Not reading Japanese makes it a bit of a crap shoot, but it will give me incentive to bike more and pay less in parking fees.
So, thanks, PZ for passing that one along.
