Lucid Decapitation
"...Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds … I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased.
The face relaxed, the lids half closed on the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day in the exercise of our profession, or as in those just dead.

All this was mounted on a mesh of braided linden bark. The bindings were made of calf leather. Straw was used for insulation, and moss as lining..."
"...Hlavacek and a colleague set out to make three exact replicas of Ötzi's shoes, and five additional pairs, each fitted to a specific living person. They used flint to cut the material and bone needles to sew it...."
"...The shoes serve remarkably well. When they have to wade through snowmelt water, they feel an initial sting of cold. But the inside immediately warms up again. Traction is excellent. And the shoes offer no opportunity at all for blisters..."

Kid Creatures
I "stumbled" these some time ago and they have shown up again. I really dig this concept, and have been meaning to render some of my own kids drawings.
