I thought this sort of thing only happened in cartoons
He demonstrated how we skin out big critters--we make a small incision in the skin, insert air hose, and blow 'em up like a balloon. The skin slips right off.
I know it wasn't really funny to all involved, but when I read that story, I couldn't help imagining that guy flying all around the room when they poked a hole in him.
Yeah, that's his story. Does Richard Gere know about this? Guess the sheep said, "No."
OT There is a link in that story to the announcement of the hatching of a rare white Kiwi chick. Amazing little critter. Apparently, the poor Kiwi birds are being wiped out. This is one luck little bird to be born in protection.

As for the guy who blew up like a balloon, I found it a bit of a letdown. It's not as though,once inflated, he twisted himself into the shape of a poodle.
Too bad it wasn't helium, he would have been easier to transport to the hospital.

Plenty of Kiwi chicks in Australia, except they pronounce it chux. That's how we know they're Kiwi.
