THE SHIP OF MEAT

Jan 30, 2008 00:05

i bet most of you have seen this . . . someone made an entire pirate ship out of meat.

i don't think this is something anyone would have attempted before the internet.

stop motion video of the process:

...what does one do with a meat ship after you're done building it? DO NOT TELL ME THEY ATE IT. Blerg.

um, i think they ate PART of it. but, it was 17,000 calories, so i'm sure a lot of meat was left over. i like to think of it as a sacrifice.

truthfully i'd probably eat part of it too, but only the bacon part. mmm, bacon.

I can't help thinking how much more appetizing that would have looked if it had been cooked. (Assuming it's meant to look appetizing, that is).

Incidentally, have you seen this?

I meant to add it to your poll yesterday, but forgot.

it is cooked at the end, i think you can see it in the video. it kind of got all shriveled.

i haven't seen that, will check it out!

Sometimes your posts make me seriously question the human race.

i don't know, these kinds of things make me like the human race!

Baum didn't even wait until the later Oz books to start that. The village of china people was at the end of The Wizard of Oz. I've managed to mostly block the second book from my memory.

yeah, i don't even remember, it's been so long since i read them. i do remember one of the books (the fifth?) is pretty much nothing BUT descriptions of such villages.
