Geez… that’s a simple one… just look at the mouth… it’s Mister Mustard…
It’s a mummified gremlin.
Chupacabra!!!!!!
Dunno what it is, but it laughed so hard it died.
A rare mummified alien.
Geez, you guys are no help at all!
hhopper,
I think your guess at art project is a good one.
I’m not big expert on biology but it seems pretty improbable from an evolutionary standpoint.
The “hands” and feet seem completely unrelated and the jaw is uselessly too huge for the throat. Big jaws like that are usually for predators but the teeth are wrong.

I think it’s probrably part of a videogame ad campaign.
It could be an art project, but…
I’ll guess it’s probably one of those fake mummies/aliens/whatever that traveled around in carnival freak shows. It certainly isn’t for real. Animals that have lobster claws usually have exoskeletons like insects, lobsters, scorpions, etc. No teeth, and no internal skeleton.
say it ain’t so…
BAT BOY IS DEAD.
Kinda looks like a Langolier.

That’s a good point about claws like that — usually those are for tearing apart the food BEFORE it gets in the mouth, so the animal wouldn’t need such a big mouth.

>>it’s Mister Mustard…
Shit. You busted me.
I always hated the taste of Jägermeister. Way too much like cough syrup. And now my picture’s up on the internet (or “interwebitubes”, as we say here). Bastard!
Bill Gates after he realized how much he’s worth?
“I always hated the taste of Jägermeister. Way too much like cough syrup.”
Hey I agree. That stuff is disgusting.
Not if they have enough opiates. 🙂
Ann Coulter without makeup.
(and the weird thing is that people that watch Fox still find her sexy in this photo)
You know when I first saw this pic i was wondering about its origin. And apparently nobody knows anything but everyone has a one-liner, off-the-wall zinger or snide remark. What is wrong with this group anyway?
Can’t anyone answer the question?
Sorry, John. Nobody seems to have a clue what the hell it is supposed to be, me included.
But if you want another on-liner then it must be the earliest known example of a fossilized mother-in-law.
Nothing new here, Area 51, newly landed and upset with the customs bullshit. The biggest bone of contention was the rectal exam, especially as they had to ream it a new one, as it lacked an existing orifice.
#17…Awake….Geesh…I watch Fox News (among others) and I don’t think Ann Coulter is hot in ANY photo.
But the resemblence is amazing. 🙂
#17, Awake,
Amazing resemblance. Watching her makes my inches turn into millimeters.
This is definitely what’s called a sideshow gaff.. A constructed creature made to resemble something mythical. I can’t tell whether it’s an original or something recently created for another purpose (it doesn’t resemble any particular gaff that I’ve seen during my research).
One of the more common gaffs is called a Jenny Haniver, and is usually made by slicing and shaping a dead ray into a strange looking creature and then mummifying it. Another common (and probably more famous) gaff is the Fiji Mermaid. You can find many pics of them on the ‘tubes!
Probably a freak show prop.
It looks sort of like one of the aliens in one of the early Andre Norton stories, (humans are “johnny come lately” to the intersteller scene and the established races relegate humans to a role as mercenaries, sugar is a controlled substance). Can’t remember the name of the story or find it through the filter.
>>Can’t anyone answer the question?
Probably not. Just because something is on the internet doesn’t make it “famous”. It’s probably just some kid dicking around with PhotoShop. These scary monstrosities are a dime a dozen.
Although I agree with Awake. I think it’s Ann Coulter without her makeup. All that Chardonnay and Nicorette gum really takes its toll.
Photoshop BS.
Note that the shadow of the large head and the back area are separated from the creature indicating these areas are floating above the table. As are the legs, arms and tail. The balance point is at the waist which is the only spot that actually touches the surface. Assuming uniform density, the imbalance would have the cantilevered head resting on the table if it was a real object.

You are looking at a freak show exhibit. Parts of various animals and whatever stuck together and dried.
#18 – Sorry John, most DUers are sarcastic smartasses before anything else.
That thing is what’s left of the first attempt to clone Hillary.
#22 – You’re not referring to a stack of buttons are you?
Bloody obvious. Its a Roswell thingy having a colonic examination by a member of the Homeland Security mob.
Obviously didn’t survive the procedure.
Probably someone in Florida is using his vote by now.
#26, RBG,
Not if the brain pan was the size and had the contents of James Hill.
