eBay of the day: Anorectal Transducer. Yes, it's what you're thinking. Yes, it's used.

Noooooooooo! eBay item 380050845372 is a B&K Type 1850 Anorectal ultrasound transducer. Yes, you put it there, connect it to an ultrasound machine, and it produces awesome 3D images. The auction contains the unforgettable lines: "Comes in nice wood box. Came from working environment." Noooooooooo!32 I'm assuming that one of you dear readers has $2,499 to drop on this, and plans to connect it to Max/MSP and create the most terrifying musical instrument in history... (Thanks, Paul)

    Shame there's nothing in the picture to give a sense of scale... looks about the size of a snooker cue to me...

    i'm sure it's worth every penny - if it's gently used.

    If you haven't heard of the Sphincterphone, you should read Al Kooper's "Backstage Passes".

    Of course, the real question is why you did a search for anorectal transducers in the first place...

    That's all very well, but how does it sound as a drum room mic?
