A Nymph and a Satyr attributed to Pierre-Charles Trémolières (1703-1739).

Note the difference between a Nymph and a nympho : a nympho would stay awake for the debauchery.

Unlike this painting by François Boucher, this just seems pervy. And not pervy in the good, just doing my part to continue the survival of the species way but the creepy kind of pervy. The voyeuristic eagle on the left doesn't help.

I imagine clothes that cling to you with no visible means of support like the satyr's outfit wouldn't be that comfortable.

Repo Men

The upcoming Repo Men movie is a science fiction story about how artificial organs can be bought on credit and if the payments aren't met then the organ gets repossessed.

My prediction : at some point in the movie they kill someone, stand over the corpse preparing to remove the organ, and say "Sorry, it only has a lifetime guarantee."

Although some of his arms have broken off, Dancing Ganesh (c.10-11th century) can still flash gang signs, hold an axe, wear an uncommon amount of jewelry (for a guy with an axe), and nibble on a giant cupcake/muffin. Surrounding Ganesh is several half-sized people.

Ganesh's forward facing eyes looks a little odd but better stereoscopic vision would be advantageous for someone with a bunch of arms and an articulated trunk.

And um... that's, uh, that's probably the end of his belt hanging down between his legs. Yeah, that's it. A belt.

because even babies like choice

Enfamil baby food/formula has "Two nipple options" to make it as similar to the real thing as possible. Because even babies like choice.
