    Such a vivid memory in my head. I guarantee it will be a memory that gently floats it way into my subconscious as I lay on my death bed. Gently like a butterfly. Then, like a million atomic bombs going off at once, Jim Carrey shoving his way out of a fake Rhinoceros’s pussy face first will blast across my neurons like the face of God glimpsing into my soul. Then I will flat line.

      Yes, but five minutes later, we’ve all moved on

        I wouldn’t want it any other way.

      I was severely tempted by the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen car. (Not that I could have come close to affording it.)

      Adam Savage makes several videos about props being put up for auction. He even did a video on this rhino.

    It’s a big, fiberglass static rhino, only the ears move. It’s the one Jim was “birthed” out of. There’s a seat and control panel mocked up inside, but this isn’t the one that moved. It’s clear from the movie that there are two rhinos, as you can see by the leg joints on the one that moves.

    Adam Savage Tested video about the auction:

    The scene from the movie:

    Wouldn’t it be funny if Jim Carrey bought it! He could install it as a front door to his home, to make for amusing entrances and exits.

      His new face looks like it did when his head started poking out in the movie
