This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.
