This taxidermy creation is a BoingBoing find, and it captures the best of a new scifi subgenre I hope will soon catch on: Techie Cutie Creepy. Has Pokemon already been there?

Basically all I want is something that brings together my freakish addiction to Cute Overload with the weirdness of dead animal parts converted into time machines. Here you can see a closeup of Chuffy, who even has a name tag and hat. Where could they be going? The Cuteness Dimension? To defeat the pretender to the throne of the Cuteocracy?

We will say "OMG Bionic Puppiez1!!" And here is the first bionic puppy to ever ascend to the top of the cuteocracy. Hope the puppy was born without front legs, so her human companion, an orthotist, built her these wheeled legs out of model airplane wings and wheels. The wings are spring-loaded, so they can act like shoulders and knees would, creating a cushiony ride for her spine and back legs. [Daily Mail via Neatorama]
