Skeletaxonomy

ARE YOU WANING? WAXING? CRESCENT? FEELING GIBBOUS?



The Planet Scumm Institute for "Skeletaxonomy" is recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial of scummicillin, a probacterial designed to treat symptoms associated with body solidity, three-dimensionality, and organ, uh... having.



If you've experienced one of the following, you may be eligible to participate in our study:
• Complications from one or more fullbody skeletal replacements
• Out-of-body experiences brought about by illicit virtual reality "jacking"
• Identity theft by mind-copied synthetics
• Rust, suspension fatigue, or "Tin Man
syndrome"
• Feelings of inadequacy or weaponization while piloting an exo-suit
• Post-expiration quasi-materiality
• Shin splints
• Wombats
• Unexplained head detonation, with or without a pre-explosion fugue



Call the Planet Scumm Institute today for a consultation, at no cost to you.



"SKELETAXONOMY" ISN'T JUST IN OUR NAME-IT'S IN OUR BONES.



(Those of us that have bones, that is.)
