Anyone who hasn't followed that link needs to do so now! It's got human cadaver arms manipulated with fishing line and guitar tuning knobs. It's got a link to an article titled "Your Face: Punching Bag or Spandrel?"

You can't possibly find a better way to spend 10 minutes!

Unfortunately the images don't load without JavaScript, so...

Oh that's not good. Obviously, I've chosen to allow js, but basic stuff should work without it.

Who downvoted you? I couldn't have sold the article better myself!

Heh. I gave up trying to figure out voting a long time ago. I find it both fascinating and disturbing that there are people out there who see anything I write as worthy of a dowvote. :)
