  Woah… time traveling guinea pig? This thing was made just for me!
  I’ve got a very complimentary and shameless self promotion to append to this post:

  Thanks for promoting rodentular time travel. It’s something I strongly believe in.

  Wow, that just takes the idea of Guinea Pig to a whole new level.

  Despite my deep facination with oddities though, I can’t really stand the thing. Sticking gears in dead animals just doesn’t really do it for me.

  I love it. It kinda reminds me of the fabulously freaky stuffed rabbit in Jan Svankmajer’s demented stop-motion version of Alice in Wonderland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIB-LnoCNBM – the scene I’m referring to starts at about 4:55 in the clip). However, that guinea pig does kind of look like it just thawed out from a winter under a snow bank.

  This may seem odd, but although I feel as if I -should- be attracted to this… all the elements are there, for example… I actually don’t like the execution. Perhaps it is just the photo, but I just think that it could have been done sooo much better than that… Great concept, but doesn’t quite hold up for me, in this incarnation.

  I think someone should alert the proprietors of the Torrington Gopher Hole Museum in Alberta, Canada. They could add a new diorama to their collection.
