Gratuitous randomness: Birds with arms

Thanks to John Travolta's stunning performance in 1996's groundbreaking Michael, we've had plenty of chances to imagine what humans would look like with bird-like wings.

Thanks to John Travolta's stunning performance in 1996's groundbreaking Michael, we've had plenty of chances to imagine what humans would look like with bird-like wings. We've had far fewer chances, however, to imagine the opposite. Today, because the absence of it has left a void in our souls we hadn't even previously noticed -- and because it's Wednesday, the day we bring you the best of our weird internets world in a random compendium of images loosely related to whatever topic we happen to come up with -- we're bringing you our new favorite shit, Birds with Arms. Feel free to thank us later.
