Are these Donald Trump visuals anatomically valid?

Unfortunately, the most appropriate answer is something along the lines of “I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Kingston University photography students Luke Evans and Josh Lake decided to turn themselves into human cameras by eating 35mm film squares and letting their bodies do the rest. The single film segments were first ingested, excreted (in a dark room) then washed.

How about a tea in the ribcage of a fully articulated 95-foot bowhead whale skeleton?

pavilionofthewhale

“In 1831 the skeleton of a 95-foot bowhead whale was displayed in a pavilion at Charing Cross, as part of a tour that had also touched Ostend and Paris. Visitors could ascend a flight of steps to a stage set within the ribcage, where they could sit at a table and write puns in the guest book. (“Why should we be mourned for if killed by the falling of the bones of the whale? We should be be-wailed.”)”
