This genuine antique fossilized fairy from the collection of Takeshi Yamada is the kind of thing that throws Pharyngula and his fellow godless Darwinian crusaders into a frenzy. No doubt the heirs of Arthur Conan Doyle will be purchasing this irrefutable proof of the ancient existence of fairies, should it ever appear at Christie’s or Sotheby’s.

How wierd , is it a Dragonfly ? It even has a little face . Creepy
It’s a carving. Check the links.
LOL, how can anyone take this seriously?
I can digg it (in fact, I just did). In this Baptist’s humble opinion, it’s clever and funny. But then I may be an unusual Baptist - evolution is the way to go. It just makes sense.
:)) That is cool! I also had a pic with a so-called mumy of a sea nymph. :)) They are terrible, these pic-makers junkies! :)
Wow, I wonder if it had fairy dust?
I’m disappointed. I saw the title and thought Quentin Crisp had been found in his garden.
Philipa, I think it has been REDUCED to fairy dust. 7news, if you click on the pic it’ll take you to this guy’s whole catalogue of weird creatures that he’s put together. Fiji mermaids and the whole deal. anomalous, thanks for the Digg. FFE, Quentin Crisp ascended directly into God’s kitchen garden, was taken up bodily from the Earth the way he always wanted it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Yeah, but I bet you were looking for this.
Actually, squids are what the fairies evolved into, hence the overwhelming supernatural attractiveness of the entire tentacular kingdom. You could say rather that Pharyngula was looking for this, but just didn’t know it.
How cool is that picture, well found friend.
Though might I point out that Faeries are inface pure energy. I have never heard the theory that faeries evolved into squids. Good picture though.
Wonderful paperweight. I am looking forward to seeing fossils Gnomes complete with their tackle (fishing rod etc.)
… and some squids eveolved into Tree Octopodia

Being of Irish decent, I love fairy lore….but its these people who try to “prove” it with lies and false evidence that take the magic out of it.
I have seen lots like that in the Bridport area where I live - I think South street has a severe infestation!
G Eagle is quite correct, and in that sense the Cascadian Tree Octopus is the closest thing the world has to a living fairy fossil. Mind you, there are those who say there are a lot right here on Denman street.
Do they grant wishes? If so we should try to get a DNA same, and get some Jurassic Park action going.
Excellent idea! As I understand it, the procedure for getting a DNA sample from one of our local fairies can often be as simple as asking.
It is so cool that you found such thing!It is extra ordinary!what area was it found?
I have always wondered how a very cool fossil exist!it is very great!i wonder if they have magic?
Apparently, they have the ability to leave comments on blogs, too.
The “Fossilized Fairy” seen here is one of “sideshow gaffs” created by internationally active and respected artist, Takeshi Yamada in Brooklyn, New York. Yamada had over 400 art exhibitions internationally. Here is his website with many pics and articles of curiosities, oddities, monsters and marvels: http://sideshowworld.com/SSA-15.html
Takeshi Yamada won the first prize at the 2006 Photo Hoax Contest with his gaffs. http://paranormal.about.com/od/ghostphotos/a/aa052206.htm
Here is the link of the detail description of this fossilized fairy specimen gaff: http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/index.php?photo=268763
Takeshi Yamada is currently having solo art exhibition entitled “Museum of World Wonders: Cabinet of Curiosities” at the Brooklyn Public Library - Coney Island Branch. (October 2006 – January 1, 2008) Yamada is also featured in a documentary film shown at the “Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids” exhibition at the American Museum of the Natural History in Manhattan, New York. ((May 26, 2007 - January 6, 2008)
Uh, yes. I guess you didn’t click on the several links to his website that I put in this article.
Well to say its impossible, is small minded in my eyes. We are a creation which can do many things, to discover another creation is amazing. If you allow yourself to be shallow, you wont experience much or gain much knolledge in life. :)
Indeed. Like the proper uses of the letter “w.”
