NewImage If you loved me, you'd buy me this all-glass complete brain artery model from Farlow Scientific Glassblowing. It's $4,000. At least I didn't ask for the full-body complete artery model!

    “Let’s get some digits,” I said to the Blown-Glass Medical model.

    “Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t give it out without a firm offer.”

    “Oh I’ll make you a firm offer.”
