File this under "something we'd never even think of doing... ever!" Dutch Artist Bart Jansen turned his dead cat into a helicopter! Upset after losing his cat, Orville, after it was hit by a car, Jansen decided to stuff his pet and transform his body into a remote-controlled helicopter.

Aptly named the "Orvillecopter," the half-cat, half machine even made its debut at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam last weekend. But he doesn't fly perfectly quite yet. But Jensen plans to fix that problem as soon as he can. "He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday,” Jansen said. Do you think turning your dead cat into a helicopter is a cool way to keep him around -- or is it just plain creepy?

    Strikes me as a little disrespectful, it's a carcass, put him in the ground, let him decompose and give back to the earth.

    Some Pentecostals up here will be using Genesis Process, which is a blend of (the regular) Spiritual stuff, but also training one's over·active limbic system (Psychology) as well, they even recognize being excessively religious. Will try it out this Fall.

    I was going to say creepy,but then I thought if it helps him cope and get through the greiving prossess then more power to him.

    I see nothing remotely cool or amusing, about turning the body of a dead pet, or any animal, into a spectacle. It is gruesome, and disrespectful.

    Granted, keeping Lenin's body on display all these years is 'creepy' too. At least his body, and mummy's who are on display, are displayed in a somewhat respectful manner.
    I'm not sure this has to do, with a guy turning his dead cat into a helicopter.

    I was being a little tongue-in-cheek. But, at least taxpayers presumably never had to pay for the cost of maintaining the cat.

    Seeing this flying around would be moderately terrifying.
    I kind of feel bad for the guy, too. I know how it is to lose a pet, but show it some respect, please.

    And these fools should have been ignored from the beginning. They do not deserve this attention for such disrespect.

    I'm not naive. Like you said, eye of the beholder and this beholder doesn't think it's art, but respects those who thinks it is. It certainly is clever.

    With the current popularity of Vampires & Zombies in our (Petri dish) Culture, no surprize.
