Giraffes Gossiping

They're not gossiping, they're ribbing each other.

They're not gossiping, they're ribbing each other.

Sculpture of giraffes made from cow ribs.

These gossiping “Eves” were made, not from Adam's rib but from a cow's rib[, and aren't you grateful we cleared up that confusion, because you might have thought a couple filthy, stinking cow's ribs were actually the mythic rib from which the first woman was taken by YHWH] -- three ribs to be exact. Anchored in modeling clay and surrounded by brush, they make an intriguing centerpiece for a children's party, [because kids always are asking for bones], or a permanent display in a boy's room[-- our nephew Jeffy D loves playing with his bones and pretending they're talking].
