    Ah, the King of the Animals! Such pride and dignity on display.
    (Hope it was nothing serious?)

    What do you get when you cross a lion with an octopus?

    A summons from the Ethics Committee and withdrawal of all your funding.

    Poor sick kitty. Well, could-rip-my-face-off-if-it-felt-like-it (and-wasn’t-sedated-and-strapped-down-in-an-MRI-scanner) lion, but still. :-(

    On my second visit to the picture, it occurs to me there’s hot furry-bondage-medical porn right there!

    One of my wife’s English-as-a-foreign-language students told her and his colleagues he was going to Milan “by cat”. Arriving on the back of this beast would certainly impress, if he survived the ride!

    Hell, no, I’m not gonna be the one to tell him he’s scheduled next for a colonoscopy!

    Hee, hee, imagine the Tin Woodman getting an EKG… Ah, Crap. Tin isn’t magnetically conductive. Damn, it. That’d have been kind of funny otherwise.

    I assume that the Tin Woodman, like “tin cans”, was made of “tinplate”, i.e., steel with a thin coat of tin. (Nowadays the coating might be one of those horrible Chemical Plastics.) I don’t know how to figure out how thin the coat would have to be to foil an EKG.

    Just don’t try to give him an MRI.

    But what about the strawman?

    Just don’t try to give him an MRI.

    And no microwaving, either.
