Comment by Gwyn on September 2, 2013 at 10:38am: Honestly, sometimes I think I am just a passing curiosity to some, an anomaly, perhaps even simply an amusing joke. In short, a freak.

Comment by Gwyn on May 13, 2013 at 6:25pm: Went to a 'Dime Museum' (which now costs 20 of them) at the 'Witch's Ball' (actually just a Halloween fair.) Here are some photos from it-

Cast of the famous Lobster Boy's hand

Various Specimens

A Feejee Mermaid

Conjoined in life and death

Vampire Hunter's Kit

Human Tail

Fetal Pig(?)

Trepanned Skull and others

Mummified Cat

He had a lot more stuff, but the tent was crowded (it is a traveling show.) Some were gaffs, others real.

The Mütter Museum (at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia) has real medical curiosities, like the ‘soap lady’, the worlds largest colon, death cast of Chang and Eng, piece of Einstein’s brain, a Vertebrae of John Wilkes Booth’s, and a lot more.

Comment by Gwyn on April 19, 2013 at 8:10am: I felt this appropriate for here.

Comment by Gwyn on April 16, 2013 at 9:35pm: Did you ever see Jim Jarmusch's film 'Dead Man' with Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop, Crispin Glover, John Hurt, Michael Wincott, Lance Henriksen, Robert Mitchum? OMG, I loved it! Look at the actors in it!!!!!

How about his 'Coffee and Cigarettes'? Another excellent film with an excellent, excellent cast!!!!!

Comment by Gwyn on April 16, 2013 at 9:28pm: I am singing (you just don't have your volume turned up enough to hear me ;) this-

"the sky is blue and all the leaves are green. my heart's as warm as a baked potato"

Does that answer your question? :)

Comment by Gwyn on April 14, 2013 at 8:41pm: Hi, Dr. Alex :) Gwyn here. Have you ever watched the film 'Ravenous', with Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle? It speaks of the wendigo. The film is sort of like a take on the Donner Party. It was quite good, though, if you like that sort of film. Some of the music chosen for it was interesting.

There was a film called 'The Donner Party' with Crispin Glover.

Comment by Gwyn on April 14, 2013 at 8:35pm: Thank you for your suggestions, Dr. Tarr, I will indeed try the fine sand paper, then follow with a gargle of 'tongue' oil :)

Comment by Gwyn on April 14, 2013 at 10:21am: I wonder if this is how werewolf legends began? I think he looks rather elegant. You could just say it is a rather excessive beard...all over the face.

Comment by Gwyn on April 7, 2013 at 4:31pm: I have a sore throat. Can’t talk (as if!) Dunno if it is from being overly zealous in my sword swallowing attempts, or if it is merely seasonal allergies. Trees budding. You’d think I’d be immune!

It’s okay with Gwyn, her throat’s all fleshy and moist, with me maybe the sword is causing splinters on it’s way down! Perhaps I should try swallowing a rasp! ;)
