kokopelle: Horse Totem (Sinfest - Vice in a Can)
[personal profile] kokopelle
Note to self... the easy way to boost flickr views is to post pictures of erotic statues. This is my lesson of the day.

I am trying out the more manual features of my wonderful camera so last night I pulled down some statues from around the house. They range from cute cats (of course!) to a bit of erotica. The most 'interesting', the statue of a lady holding a rose, was found at a Goodwill thrift store. As they say here in Laurens, "you don't never know what you'll find!".

All 37 pictures from my macro photography exploration are in this this flickr set.

Indeed!

Warning... Science Content Ahead!

Scientists have discovered a mutated gene named for the Greek goddess, Aphrodite Kallipygos, that causes certain sheep to have unusually big and muscular bottoms. They hope the genetic mutation will illuminate how muscle and fat are deposited in these animals and possibly in humans. These sheep are remarkable because they have very little fat. As one expert explains: "They are converting food into muscle in their hind regions, instead of converting food into fat!”
