    # 10 reminds me of the Sumatran Rat-Monkey from Dead Alive!

    Love 'em! #taxidermy

    I volunteer my head and half of my torso when I die, so I can be mounted and stuffed a la Jeremy Bentham, into a life-sized statue of Zaphod Beeblebrox. Who's with me? #taxidermy

    I wonder if this is some kind of trend. There was a booth on the showroom floor at SDCC 09 that had similiar stuff. This other guy mixed in some steampunk elements, though; I think he had a squirrel with a section of his tail replaced with chain link, or something. #taxidermy

    This is wrong. And I don't mean that in a funny way, but in a "this is really inappropriate" way. #taxidermy

    @disatess: Somehow I feel compelled to watch Casino Royale again, where they have the little chase through the Human Body Art exhibit.

    And that compulsion has left me, and I'm fine again.

    But hey, if you ever want to buy Freddy Krueger a housewarming gift, now you know where to shop.

    @cylon_conspiracy: How, exactly, is this "wrong?" Everything Sabrina uses is found or donated. Nothing is killed to do it. This isn't like she's using the taxidermist's version of conflict diamonds or anything. What about it do you find repulsive?

    @theredlibrarian: I think it's wrong to make art out of dead bodies. It's disrespectful to any spirit or consciousness or whatever you want to say that may or may not be in an animal (or human). Even if you don't think there's such a thing as that it is just disrespectful to the memory of something that used to be alive.

    I can ALMOST understand simply stuffing a dead animal so you can appreciate its form for what it is. But taking bits and pieces from other animals and mashing them up together for some aberration? To me that's just f'd up.

    I didn't think these creatures were killed to make art. I just think its extremely improper.

    @Qev: At least leather provides some sort of utility. It's not making a mockery of the animals that were used. #taxidermy

    I still don't understand why if you call it art a mutilated corpse becomes so expensive.

    You save up to buy a mutilated and rotted corpse for hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars to display it in your home and you wonder why we're in a recession? #alexcf

    @crashedpc - unrein: Bodies are worthless, you have to do 'art' to them first. Like plastinate their anuses into flowers or glue half of a manatee corpse to the side of one of their heads and place in on a velvet plinth. A veeelllveeet pliiiinnnth. #alexcf

    I think I pulled #10 out of a storm drain. The strange and mysterious sudden deaths of all my immediate family members was probably just coincidence. #alexcf
