BTW how do you like the perfect cup? There is just something nice about it. I can't put it in words, however.

I'm sorry. I don't care for that. I prefer my pets alive.

Right. The teacup has been "stuffed." It should have been buried respectfully. ;)

I didn't get it, Pam... and had to look into an encyclopaedia...

" Tribbles are small, soft, gentle fictional animals in the Star Trek universe whose cute appearance and soothing purring endears them to every sentient race which encounters them — except Klingons. While only appearing in a handful of episodes, they are one of the most popular and famous species in the Star Trek universe.

These artifacts might easily be mistaken for utensils used and owned by Chewbacky of Star-Wars fame except that they were manufactured here on Earth in the early 20th century, probably by Man Ray or Marcel Duchamp.

From the New York Times: After a Furry Teacup What Then?
By GRACE GLUECK
Published: June 28, 1996

After a fur-lined teacup, what do you do for an encore? That was a problem for the German-born artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985), who created this famous Surrealist icon in 1936, when she was barely 23. Such whirlwind success -- the Museum of Modern Art almost immediately snapped up and exhibited the teacup -- proved difficult to handle. The sudden burst of fame, it seems, contributed to a major depression that descended on Oppenheim the next year and stayed with her for nearly two decades.

Although the landscape in this photo looks otherworldly (planet of the Tribbles?) it lays in the high plains of Bolivia, South America, Planet Earth.
