Has anyone else heard of him? He was a fucked up Victorian taxidermist who stuffed animals and arranged them into little scenes.

Are you casting aspersions on my culture?  I assure you his scenes were strictly for education and entertainment.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

I'm not too keen on taxidermy as a whole, no  8)

I quite like finding out about Victorian London though, especially about crimes etc.  You should visit. You'd like the V&A   :laugh:

Nevermind.

You take things too literally, and I suppose that some jokes are going to fall flat. I'm surprised no-one else made the connection, even though it was a joke.

Reminds me of a book I got Emma a while back, old photographs of kittens, puppies etc. in various clothes and posed. They were alive though.

I don't see the problem here though, I think it looks interesting. People have done it with human bodies before too, even recently. Bodyworks is an example, using dead people as education for anatomy, posing etc.
