Years ago, my father witnessed a tragicomic incident involving a stuffed ow=
l.

Dad was a Navy photographer, which included things like shooting carrier op=
s to document accidents, pics of the new CO, lenses for spy satellites, and=
 other fun stuff.   So dad was what you'd call an expert photographer.

He was working at a university at the time, and they decided they wanted to=
 "digitize" their collection.  Somehow, the project of photographing this o=
wl fell to a guy that dad figured could possibly put film in a camera with =
suitable assistance.  The idea was to take many images of the owl on a rota=
ting platform so that the viewer could spin it in "3d"..   Well, the sessio=
n started, and things progressed, lots of shots taken, then our intrepid ph=
otog noticed that the owl was melting...   He was using WAY too much light,=
 good old halogen light..

I saw the resulting animation once, it reminded me of the bad witch in the =
wizard of oz..

Tragically hilarious.
