He has Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

And that chainsaw was his bestest Christmas present ever.

Thanks for this. It reminded me of one of my favorite websites of all time, that I discovered a while back and hadn’t visited in a few years:

Same idea, but in English.

Though a lamb with prehensile attachments is not to be sniffed at either.

Is it time for my monthly shameless plug? Why, I think it is.

Plenty of found children drawing, love letters and embarrassing photos of people on http://www.finderskeepers.fr(this one would make a fine addition, btw)

It’s elective surgery for kids who think they’ve lost their cuteness. I had a similar procedure done — a guinea pig was glued to my shoulder after reckless primary school instructors robbed me of my former ignorance.

Well, of course there would have to be a gluten-free version.

You want me to kickstart your prosthetic limb business and you can’t even spell “pencil”?

I just wonder if this is the wistful dream of some poor kid that doesn’t have right hand, or some kind of modern Geppetto who wants to replace his body parts with wood.

Or maybe it started out as a drawing that would get kids expelled from school these days, and when teacher came around the class to see what everyone was doing, a couple rapidly conceived edits changed the tone to something positive.

I not usually such a painful pedant as to point out typos but this one was just so dang cute.

I was really hoping this was a post about prosthetic lambs. I give that child like 2 out of 5 stars on yelp because their drawing of how to make a prosthetic limb is only a fraction of the awesomeness that a drawing of a prosthetic lamb would be.

Prosthetic lamb sounds like a vegan meat. Maybe made from soy and gluten.

Yeah, but I think the idea of prosthetic lambs is awesome regardless.

@thaum:disqus @Datavist:disqus Yep, i believe this was a typo. I’ve fixed it for Mark.

“pensile”

Clearly a misspelling of “prehensile”, something you’d want in a limb.

Why would he want to have a young sheep for a prosthesis?

I think that may well be the cheeriest amputee I’ve ever seen.
