I have some prostheses, I used to collect them for a bit. I've got mostly prosthetic hands, a couple of cosmetic gloves for said hands (which are basically rubber 'gloves' for the hands with realistic skin and nail detail painted on) and a brilliant foot, which is really heavy. My favourite is the hand with a sort of carabina clip thumb, so you can carry your shopping. I did have an old prosthetic leg from C 1910, and a prosthetic ear from around the same time, but I donated them. Excellent.

apart from the leg and the ear back (altruism engenders regret, for some reason. Guilty regret at that.) what I'd really like is a set of wooden false teeth. If anyone ever sees any in a shop, if they could please tell me I'd gladly paypal or whatever some money to them so they could buy them for me. I've seen a couple of sets but they were upwards of 500 quid and I just can't afford that.

Sorry, I should have written that in a different way.
