entrails!!!

The ancient art of haruspicy, according to Wikipedia. Which I think is probably the same thing as the Ospices (which might be spelled totally differently) that I learned about in Roman History.

And... photos of an Etruscan diagram of a sheep liver, in bronze. details and a translation.

I think my sheep (who is small and blue and fuzzy) shall need a liver. Only, I realized that one ought to name him Conrad (or perhaps Conrad the second?) which leads to the almost immediate thought regarding appropriate placement of zipper pull... ahem, don't mind me...

Of course, I also sort of feel that I ought to use an old violin string somewhere in the construction. Since the original catgut strings were actually made from sheep intestines...
