Educational Anatomical Rugs

Flat Surgery by Mathieu Lehanneur is Maybe Not for the Dining Room

Flat Surgery is a collection of rugs that will teach you everything you didn't want to know about your digestive tract, brain, and genitalia. Artist Mathieu Lehanneur designed the rugs and even has plans for each of the Flat Surgery rugs: The digestive tract is apparently intended for the kitchen. The brain rug is supposed to be used in your office. And, finally, the genitalia rug is meant for the bedroom.

Who wouldn't want to get it on after looking at an anatomically-correct floor diagram of the sex organs?
