    On the radio I heard some woman complaining about the pointlessness
of wearing a fur coat: "wearing the skins of dead animals."
    Why not wear the skins of live animals?  Several methods come to
mind:

1. Breed animals to be thin and flat, so that they can be gently attached
together and worn as capes or stoles.
2. Put animals under general anaesthesia and remove their skins, replacing
them with artificial skins.  True, the technology for this doesn't yet exist,
but certainly it's worth investigating the possibility.
3. Remove animals' skins, remove the skin of an alt.fan.furry type, and
sew the human skin onto the animals and the animal skins onto the furry.
True, there will be some problems with rejection, but again that's a matter
for scientific investigation.

Mark., or does X Industries already have these problems solved?
