One of the many exhibitions at the museum related to baby animals, and their sizes. Naturally Jim was delighted with the hands on exhibits, including a larger than life scale which gave some weight comparisons to the unsuspecting human victim and the animal they most correlate with weight wise.
Jim being the light weight he is had a weight relative to that of a baby Emperor Penguin. That's nice and petite (and gorgeous) I thought. Let me try. Well, I'm not sure what would have been worse, actually seeing a digit flash up on a screen advising me I'm still carrying extra Christmas kilo's, or the animal I apparently weigh - a baby Giraffe! Surely I couldn't weigh as much as that! A baby giraffe would have 40 kilos alone in their neck, right......*cough*
Just for prosperity here is a picture of that brutal scale - I suppose I should be pleased I'm only the giraffe and not the hippo ;o)
