Stefan Bucher's Daily Monster #145
From Stefan's Blog:
What, what, what is Monster 145 looking at? Does he eat everything he sees? Do the eyes stay clustered like that? Are they independent of each other? Why are they mounted as they are? And what's with the pants / no shirt look? Are we witnessing a moment? Or a committed fashion statement? I'd love to hear what you think! If you can fit a few fantastic minutes into your day, please...

EMPTEES
This shirt designed by BoltCutter:
Palermo's Capuchin monastery outgrew its original cemetery in the 16th century and monks begun to excavate crypts below it. In 1599 they mummified one of their number, recently-dead brother Silvestro of Gubbio, and placed him into the catacombs.The bodies were dehydrated on the racks of ceramic pipes in the catacombs and sometimes later washed with vinegar. Some of the bodies were embalmed and others enclosed in sealed glass cabinets. Monks were preserved with their everyday clothing and sometimes with ropes they had worn as a penance.
This Is E-Mazing!
