There are some weirdos around.

[Polarbear]

The types that seem perfectly normal then go and do something that really makes you squirm.

On the Bearded Dragon forum I go on to get info for grandsons little dinosaur there was someone lamenting their pet had died. OK, nothing untoward about that, I got upset when my dogs have died but what did they do......

Had a mold made of the dead lizard and had it cast in bronze or something. Just gross. A bit like having your dead dog stuffed.

Thing is, all the responses she got were of the 'Oh, how lovely' and 'where did you get that done.' type. Weirdos.

Actually that’s less weird than having a dead pet gutted and stuffed, although looking at it I wonder if that’s a lifelike pose. Did it always have legs akimbo?

Google ‘badly stuffed animals.’

Do they do the same for wives?

I'm not quite sure why my brain should retain the information that a teenage boy of BCF acquaintence once publicly insisted he would wank on video at midnight something something can't remember why - but I know it was definitely Titz.

On topic: its not so much the casting in bronze that is weird - I, too, am accustomed to seeing any number of assorted wildlife stuffed and (memorably in a small shop somewhere in the South Island of NZ) holding bottles of whiskey in rocking chairs and smoking cigars - so preservation of one's fellow critters is not a weird thing to me.

Can't say the whole owning-reptiles appeals to me as a past-time. I find that weirder than the actual preservation - ugh, shudder. I wish I could like them. I love to look at them, fascinating things, any sort of wildlife. Just couldn't cope with having them running about under my feet. *wibble*

The painter Robert Lenkiewicz kept the corpse of a homeless guy he befriended in a cupboard in his library.

I think the Skottish kunt Nilsen 'Befreinded' a few more homeless guys too.
