odd pear

This is a non-sequitur to distract from the fact that flickr photo sharing is (temporarily) down.

Though it does also remind me of a long-ago Brian Dewan song. The one about the outlaw who was hanged, and his body traveled the country as a sort of roving tourist attraction, and when interest in that waned he was painted to look like King Tut (?), and years later was acquired by a circus who used him as a mannequin in a haunted house (some sort of hanged specter), and it wasn't until he fell and was damaged in some way (I think his arm fell off?) that anyone realized it was an actual person and not a mannequin.
I was thinking about that song when I took this picture. Which was months ago.

Somehow this all came up again this weekend. I expected Rick to bat an incredulous eye at me once I'd explained the premise of the song.
Instead, he thought maybe it was true? That maybe he heard it on NPR?

Weird news junkies, I beseech you...
