Master Flenser and Brain-remover Technician

And I thought my job was a conversation bombshell. After -e- pointed out the Dermisted Beetles on the Skulls Unlimited employee page, I swung back to take a look. All the employees seem happy and are posing in front of pristine skulls, except this one photo. I looked closer. Then enlarged the photo….

Yep. Their Master Flenser and Brain-remover Technician is standing behind a table piled with flayed monkey heads.

That must be some interesting conversation on the airplane. You know how it goes. You’re sitting next to someone. “Flying for business?”

“Yeah. Heading to a conference.”

“Oh really? What do you do?”

There’s a pause. “I’m a Master Flenser and Brain-remover Technician. What do you do?”

Papercraft Skull (with Articulated Jaw)

With Halloween fast approaching, it seems like a good time to do a little project. Check out Skull-A-Day, which has a Papercraft Skull that you can make at home. The jaw moves via a tab that sticks out the back.

Edited to add: Peterbilt spotted this “…amazing paper interpretation of Transformers’ Bumblebee, complete with Priceless translation from Chinese artist’s statement.” I gotta say, it is amazing, particularly the building shots. Each piece is made from a carton chosen for its color and then intricately folded.
