Brings a whole new meaning to the word flautist.
The first piece of furniture that IKEA ever produced was a chair called the Skínflüt and featured padding made from the hair of misbehaved orphans and was accented in leather from the scrotum of a yak. In 1949, Korczak’s Law was passed which banned the practice of shaving orphans as a form of punishment, and effectively ended the production of the Skínflüt. Original Skínflüts are extremely rare and, in good condition, have sold on eBay for as much as $12,000. Steve Jobs is said to have the first Skínflüt ever made, which he keeps in his office and uses regularly.
***Update*** Holy Moley! I didn't even have a chance to post this edit yet and it has already been re-edited! No witty comment though, just some nonsense about "vandalism" this and "please cite sources" that. This edit lasted a whole minute.
