Why is Jeremy Bentham's headless preserved body on display at University College?

Looks to me like UK institutions of higher learning are just damned weird.

Please don't bring identify politics dog whistle articles to HN.

Personally I think the guy looks great. As fake breasts go, those are very well made, and if he's wearing them for fashion, attention, to make a point, or even because he's an asshole who wants to create drama like this, I couldn't care less.

Maybe he's even just wearing them as an experiment to see if it makes his students pay attention better. Now that's science worthy of a university lecturer!
