I came across this link and was amused. I'm tempted to do it, except I'm at home nearly 24/7 with a very limited audience, so it has limited amusement value. I think, though, that if I worked in, say, a cube farm, I'd definitely do this.
Alien autopsy, anyone?

That's just awesome.

So, seriously, if any of you do this, will you please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top take photos and post what people say? Please?

That does look like fun to try.
*Starts thinking* It may be a while yet though, if I do.

I'd like a pair of them. Thing One and Thing Two.

I'd like to drink the coke from the jars. MMmmmMM good.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Ew! You'd drink the coke that dead alien babies have been stored in? Ew!!!!!

I thought it was the intestines of baby dragon...

And you want to drink coke that dead baby dragon intestines have been stored in? You're nuts!
Well, yeah, okay, I can see how that'd be fine...

If I had Sculpy, paint and my own jar I would totally do it. Around here, we leave all of our things on windowsills while we work and stuff. I'd love to put this thing on the windowsill and hear the comments as people walk past.

So would I! You should do it - the idea of an alien-fetus-in-a-jar on a convent windowsill is way more hilarious than one in an office cube. I'm tempted to get the materials and send them to you, if I can figure out where to find that stuff.

WalMart should have the jar. Paint and rubber cement too. Michael's might have the Sculpy. They should also have acrylic paint.
Posted by Nell Gwyn (Member # 8291) on :
Yeah, the Sculpy's the part I'm clueless on - I've never even heard of it. But Michael's is probably a good bet; I'll have to go take a look.
If they have it, and provided it's not crazy expensive, I might just have to ask you for your address, katdog.
(But only if you promise to share all the hilarity with us. )

At my desk at work, I have a picture of a statue of Marcus Aurelius taped up to my monitor. I have a CD player on which I frequently listen to things like Buffalo Springfield, Bread, the Moody Blues, or Gregorian Chant, though I am 26 years old and an agnostic. I frequently change my screen saver to quote lines from obscure Neil Young or Stephen Stills or Mark Knopfler songs or random-but-meaningful Latin phrases like "Carpe puellam".
No one in my office has ever asked about any of these things. No one is curious who the guy in the picture is, or why on earth I am listening to that, or what the heck that phrase means.
Maybe if I had a Thing in a Jar, someone would finally notice that I work there.

Hehe, I play Judas Priest on my computer at work. It's hard to miss that I work there.
