For those of you who don't know what this is, it's an Adipose. They're made out of human fat. In the Dr Who television series, that is. This one is some sort of silicone and is ment to function as a stress ball. On the show, the Adipose is born when people take an made-in-space diet pill which contains 'the spark of life,' and before they know it, their body fat bounces off their bodies in the form of oh so cute and huggable Adiposes.
The downside is that the weight-conscious human dies, but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. besides, these little guys are much cuter than the people they bounced out of, so there...
I've never had faith in diet pills and I'm sure as hell not taking any after having seen THAT episode. However, since starting a new and healthy lifestyle, quite a bit of weight did come off and so seeing the Adipose sitting on my desk was a tiny bit disconcerting at first. You can say it functioned as more of a stress-creating ball. But I'm over that now and we're buds.

OK, well that TV series sounds weird... And what happens to the Adiposes? Do they take over the world? Are they sold as pets? WHAT?
Cutest parasite ever!
Aw, that's really cute! But why would anybody choose death over weight?
I think Adiposes are charmingly cute. One of my favorite Dr. Who epiodes.
