October 17, 2006: Clockwork tiger

Yum, I guess chocolate isn't the only thing in Belgium that's yummy...

Oh, and the tiger is pretty sweet.

Tiger must not mind being ridden, she's purring like a motor.
Is there a clip of him riding the mechanical woman in the center picture?

I was hoping that was what it was. Is that Tiger ( in the book) real?
