Yeah that all makes sense, doesn't mean they didn't go "What they hey, let's do it!" And it's not like one X-ray is any risk, right? They've done fluoroscopy of people eating Mars bars, and CAT scans of a couple having intercourse after all.

Cassar's BJX-ray reminds me of a similarly themed painting by Phoebe Gloeckner that was hung as part of J.G. Ballard's Atrocity Exhibition (I think). Her bread & butter work is as an illustrator for anatomy textbooks but she's also a cartoonist/painter/author.

Here's an image to give a sense of things...

...and here's a snap of "San Bruno Mountain" from my copy of Gloeckner's "A Child's Life And Other Stories" which is NSFW & younger CMONers may find that their parents wouldn't approve! My search-engine-fu failed me :( http://files.me.com/bpibpi/4rnekz

;) cheers, B.

Ah, nice! I'll have to ask for copies of my x-rays then. Always wondered just how much metal was in my face since a routine hospital x-ray for something else made the radiographers wince and ask what the hell happened...

That, and the bolt I have through the back of my mouth up top...It actually comes through the skin. Shit the dentist up that one did lol
