Lunch Thoughts # 56

Now here's a thing - an 'animal with a human head' which seems to be getting slightly more hits on Youtube than it possibly deserves*.

An interesting idea... Despite it being a tad obvious how they made this, I have to admit it's still pretty damn unpleasant to look at. Almost as interesting (or just plain saddening) are soem of the comments I've

Er, oh well. I guess if some of those people who commented that they thought it was REAL saw The Mighty Boosh they'd think Tony Harrison really was only a pink head with funny little legs.

Indeed, there is something Boosh about these videos - reminds me especially of the Mutants episode!

Or maybe that's the mysterious Mrs Harrison in the second video, who is often mentioned but never seen...

I want to see that 1960s film 'If' again, where Malcolm McDowell volunteers for a strange private clinic. Suspicious, he snoops around after dark, hears a distressing panting sound coming from a bed with a sweating, terrified man's head on the pillow.... he hesitates, then pulls down the bedclothes to see the quivering body of a pig attached to the head.

What? Why have I never heard of this film before??

I will investigate this, post haste.

Aw nooooooo! in that case I have just wrecked it fr u : (
I saw it on one one of those late nite cinema extreme things a coupla years ago , like older films fr a change -- another one was the french film 'Eyes Without A Face' .....! Ew!

I lolled. I love the fact that people actually believed the first was real.

Hell, we are often lucky if we can insert a segment of DNA correctly into a tiny bacteria and have it work right, but YEP we can totes make people-headed-animals.

Well, don't panic, for every person that believed the first was video real, there are, ooh, at least another two who wrote "FAKE!!" in the comments and probably thought this proved they were clever.

Some people even commented that for the second video too, despite the movie's fakery being clearly stated in the description.

I think people-headed animals would be fun, anyway, if they didn't look quite so scary. It should be one of biology's top priorities before this century is out!

[set_me_on_fire]

I would go with animals with people bodies, because somehow in my messed up mind, if killing a cow is ok for food, killing it for organ transplants is cool too. I guess there are a lot of factors their too though...

IDK. Anyway about it, creepy. LOL

Hmmm... I dunno, they might start singing, and it would look like this.
