A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

The first person to complain that there’s something wrong with his lobe gets sent to bed without dinner. Close-up, after the jump.

    It looks like a rat pup from the large skull. I could be wrong…
    But either way, it’s one of the results of stretching your ears too fast. You can get blowouts, thinning lobes, and rodents.

    This reminds me of a scene from Scary Movie 3:

    CJ: No, rats are outside, mice are inside.
    Mahalik: But what if a mouse goes outside does it become a rat, and if a rat is in the house, is it a mouse?
    CJ: I ain’t seen no mouse outside. That’s what I’m sayin’.
    Mahalik: That’s because it’s a rat, fool!
    CJ: Damn! You mighta just made fact. That’s some real shit…
