here piggy, piggy...
so yesterday i photographed the oddest thing. there is a local private school who's third grade class is working on this art/science project. they are making papermache animals, a pig, rabbit, marmott (like a gopher) then they are going to take the critters to the zoo where they will be stuffed with meat. they then put the animal dummies gorged with carne into a bear and leopard's cages and watch them go nuts. the papermache is all nontoxic, brown paper bag strips with cream of wheat paste. they are going to paint them too with food coloring paint. i get to go with the class when they go to the zoo so i will keep you posted. the photos of them making the papermache are not terribly interesting but i will definitely post the ones from the zoo. the marmott is probably the funniest looking. it looks just like the the gopher in caddyshack. got to love today's educational ventures.

That is just bizarre. Was anyone crying that those mean animals demolished and ate thier little creations?
That is so strange?!? What is the point? Is if fun to make an paper mache animal and then watch a real animal chow down? I don't get it.
your guess is as good as mine. but it is just bizarre enough that i find it facisinating. i will keep you posted.
