Guinea pig costumes

Well since I've been on a wacky animal kick lately I thought I'd share this link from clinkshrink.

It seems that somebody thought it would be a good idea to create dozens of guinea pig costumes of all shapes and sizes. There is even a bit on how to measure your piggie.

Sizing: The guinea pig models wearing the costumes in my photos are full grown over a year old (approx. measurements: 8-9" from back of ears to their bottom, 10-11" waist) that will help you judge the size of the costumes. Most costumes will fit an average size adult guinea pig. If the guinea pig is too young/small, they will walk out of the costumes.

According to clinkshrink...

Many years ago a fellow by the name of John Cade decided to give lithium to manic patients because he noticed that the substance seemed to calm agitated guinea pigs. (Don't ask me how he could tell the guinea pigs were agitated. As far as I can tell all guinea pigs do is squeak and munch alfalfa pellets, or occasionally chuckle while peeing on the visitor's lap but that's a story for another day.) Anyway, the lithium worked.

Perhaps these guinea pigs are actually schizophrenic and have some sort of delusions where they think they are nurses, pirates, and swimsuit models (does a guinea pig have breasts to put the bikini top onto?).
