    What if a museum person that was moving sculptures picked this up and wasnt told before hand? I feel like they would have a mental breakdown.

    Imagine seeing these"statues" in a museum and someone accidentally bumps into one of them and they think that it's gonna break but then the head stretches to the floor instead of breaking into pieces. That'll probably give someone the biggest heart attack.
