The technology that links taxonomy and Star Trek

    He could get bonus points if he made his arms look like shorter arms holding a couple of baguettes. Or ferrets! That way he could make them fight.

  • SamSam

    That’s pretty sweet. It does look like he has a couple orangutan arms, of course.

    • Donald Petersen

      A Mr Fantastic suit with a hint of grey hair dye at the temples would have worked pretty well here.

  • Mitchell Glaser

    He should have gone as Toulouse-Lautrec on stilts, it would explain the arms.

  • technogeekagain

    Raising the waistline would also have helped a bit. Still — simple and effective and a joke at his own expense; I give it full points.

    • twianto

      Well… it’s that not that easy to raise one’s crotch, y’know.

         Get baggy pants or just suck ‘em in. ;)

  • Their feldspars

    Is it Halloween already? I must have overslept.

  • usonia

    I’m not even going to click the link to make sure or anything: That apartment looks like it’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

  • Steve Bosman

    I like this, but I really wish I could see what he did to disguise his feet.

    Awesome.
