I once bet my girlfriend at the time’s seven year old fifty quid that he couldn’t lick his own elbow. I lost.

Having just looked at the AI Nude Paintings post, my first thought seeing this author’s name and story title was ‘hey, another post about AI-generated weirdness.’ But nope. That’s actually people-made.

The title does seem reminiscent of The Policeman’s Beard is Half Constructed, doesn’t it?

That’s pretty incredible. Some combination of short upper arms, flexible shoulders and a long tongue?

His mum said that was too much money for a seven year old and would only let me give him twenty five. :smiley:
