Freak Machine

When I was a bit bigger than a wee boy, boy did I enjoy playing Exquisite Corpse. 

“What’s that?” you say?  C’mon you know: I draw the head, fold the paper over but continue the neck so the next player/drawer can see where to start; they draw the body, fold it over but continue so the last player/drawer can see where to start, and so on for the feet.  I suppose you could do it with the entire class but we kept it to three generally.  Maybe that had to do with the number of kids in our family.

Anyhoo, Exquistie Corpse has come to the Internet, but with a much cooler name.  Give it a play right here (click to link), and send it on to an email friend.  Freak Machine will post once complete.
