Ha, that's crazy! ;D Was on his exhibition last Sunday, it was really cool. I liked the giraffe-plastinate.

This is decorative and would look good on a wall.. but you have to remember that it's a real bird cut into slices! That's so weird (-but it looks good!).

When you first posted this I thought it was like, you know, raw meat, not preserved in any way, and I wanted to vom. Now that I know it isn't, it's pretty cool, but definitely not for me. I do love giraffes but not enough to have its face on my wall. Did all the animals etc. die of natural causes, right? Because then it's fine.
