A meditation on the frailty of life (AKA making a cute animal out of a grape and toothpicks)

Step 1: Supplies
Step 1: Supplies
The first step in creating a perishable office animal, is to gather supplies:1 piece of fruit or vegetable, in this case a grape (use meat if you want e-coli) 5 toothpicks

Step two: Insert toothpicks
Step two: Insert toothpicks
The more you spread the legs the sturdier your perishable office animal will be as the grape dries/rots.Think John Wayne after being buggered by a bull.

Step 3 : Find balance
Step 3 : Find balance
Adjust the feet until your fruity office creature can stand with all feet touching the ground at the same time.

Step 4 : Give personality
Step 4 : Give personality
Draw a face, or give it horns, whatever floats your boat.

Step 5 : Display!
Step 5 : Display!
Display your animal in a central localtion, where everyone can enjoy the sight of your lovely creature, as it withers away.Here you can see it next to the carrot animal (with it’s proud creator Lars in the background), already well on it’s way to disintegration!Optional: Stand in a circle holding hands and singing hymns about how fleeting life can be (or "Always look on the Bright side of life" from Life of Brian).
