  • I found someone had posted this on Reddit two years ago. Over there u/Vectrexian had said:

    Hell yeah, Sega 32X Metal Head. A janky mess of a game with cool music!

    And elaborated:

    It’s a clunky mech piloting game for the Sega 32X. The actual gameplay is pretty mediocre, but the music is pretty good (with famed Sonic series composer Jun Senoue on the sound team). One rather “interesting” feature of the game is the character portraits during dialogue, which is where this photo is from. The text was edited for the joke though, that text isn’t in the original game (it’s not even the right font). You can actually change the portraits to anime-style drawings in the options menu but these are funnier, especially when the mouths move.




  • From Snopes:
    An alternative theory holds that the creature’s altered appearance in taxidermy form was intentional and/or the result of the taxidermist’s expectation that the animal would be viewed only from a particular angle:

    When seen from the side the lion actually has quite a ferocious appearance. In this context, the lion’s bizarre tongue and fake teeth make some kind of sense. Even the close-set position of the eyes seems to have been done in order to make them appear furrowed and angry. Perhaps the taxidermist simply focused too much on side-view images when mounting the pelt, or the lion was (somehow) never intended to be seen from more than one angle.

    Here’s a picture from the side.
