Uglier Than the Elephant Man
I was watching some low-rent Discovery Channel documentary on the ‘Elephant Man’ Joseph Merrick last night. The alternative was an argument about a blind man washing his genitalia in a mug on Big Brother, so I thought it was probably the best choice.
Anyway… Joseph Merrick looked like this:
Which was rotten luck. To add insult to injury, in a fit of historical cruelty, the programme makers decided to digitally remove his deformities and, based on the phsyical features of his living relatives, re-create his face as he would have looked:

I would prefer a more detailed look at other members of the insect kingdom. A praying mantis or perhaps a scarab beetle?

Ah Good sir can I take it that you are detracting away from the fine and noble subject of entomology and returning to discussion on the more loathsome topic of simulated combat? I for one am not pleased and I think I speak for the Great British public when I say refrain and repent Mr. Saunders refrain and repent!!
