Police Give Man Amputated Foot Back Updated: Tuesday, Jul. 26, 2005 - 5:00 PM
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Ezekiel Rubottom now has his left foot back exactly where he wants it _ in a bucket on the front porch. Police in Kansas have returned the amputated foot to him after seizing it during the weekend to check out just how it got there.
The 21-year-old man's foot was amputated three weeks ago after a series of medical problems, and he started keeping it in a five-gallon bucket filled with formaldehyde.
It came to the attention of police after a call from a parent whose child reported seeing the severed foot. Officers who went to the home late Saturday night found the foot, and some of Rubottom's friends, but no sign of Rubottom himself.
Unsure of what to make of the unusual discovery, police confiscated the severed foot and put it into evidence storage.
"We had to make sure that no crime had been committed," Sgt. Dan Ward said.
Rubottom, an artist, recovering methamphetamine addict and occasional hip-hop master of ceremonies[/b], said he was born with a clubbed foot and has dealt all his life with pressure sores and infections. An infection this summer became so severe that doctors at Lawrence Memorial Hospital decided it should be amputated.
Rubottom asked to have the severed foot. A pathologist at the hospital checked to make sure it wouldn't be a hazard and told him he could have it, provided he kept it in a container labeled with instructions for handling the formaldehyde.
Karen Shumate, a vice president at the hospital, said people can keep parts removed from their bodies if they want them.
"They've had women that want their uterus," she said. "People take tonsils. They take appendixes. I think it's unusual that someone would want a foot, but it's within their rights because it's theirs."
After a friend picked up the bucket at a hardware store, Rubottom added several objects as well as the severed foot _ including a porcelain horse and can of beer _ to make what he called "a collage of myself." He also cut off two of the toes, saying he was considering giving them to friends.
On Monday, police returned the foot to Rubottom after taking him to the hospital, where he signed a release allowing them to see his medical records.
"It's cool. It's all good," said Rubottom. "Now I've got my foot back. That's all I wanted.
"I'm not sick or, like, a danger," he said of his decision to keep and display the foot. "I just wanted my foot ... I just figured I'd do with it whatever I pleased."

no actually she is Canadian. Her husband got the fetuses back in the 30's at worlds fair. He was a professor and was offered the fetuses by another professor friend.
I'ts only creepy if you look at it from a non-scientific point of view. The weird thing is they are both stored in Mayo jars and the fluid inside has evaporated a bit and I'm wondering how much longer they will hold up before the start to decompose

well that would be the easy part, the tough part is opening an air tight jar and not exposing the fetus to the outside elements.
If anyone out there has experience in hydrating fetuses please post your advice or (page me)

Canadian. That explains it.
I'm curious, did the other professor run a booth of any sort? Like dunk 'em?

Mayo jars... scientific. Riiiight.
Go get some more formaldehyde. That should do it.
Either that or some pickling vinegar.
