So what are your thoughts on steampunk taxidermy?

For me taxidermy kinda weirds me out to begin with, but this takes it to a whole other level.
But also at the same time, i find it rather fascinating.


Would any of you ever purchase one of these stuffed animals and display them in your home? Or do you think it's disgusting, and quite possibly disturbing?

Do you have any favorites?

Ailiailia - It's Minoriteeburg, our cheap substitute for Drunk Commies.
The Blaatschapen - Now, if there exists a person with two penises, he can shave the pubes of the right one that way. If he then gets an erection he could say he's doing a Nazi salute.

Neat!
Where can i get one

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

That would put the "fun" in "funeral" if you had it done quickly enough.

If it was a very minor alteration it could add to the sheer terror of having a preserved corpse on display; a quick wink every few minutes, a twitch of the hand or maybe a grunt...

Looks neat and quite creative, from the point of view of trying to "bring new life" into the specimen while preserving the artificiality of it.

Question is, can they move?
I’m mostly here for... something to do, I suppose.

It's fucking weird. I mean I go hunting and when I finally do go bear hunting and if I kill one, I'll have a rug, but that's really the extent of it...
