The clue's in the svpow.wordpress.com URL.  That's me leaning on the
brachiosaur forearm and Matt Wedel gazing up devotedly at the
neck-base.  The whole thing is of course a photoshop job, carefully
scaled, executed by Matt.  He blogged it here:

Seriously, folks!  You should all be reading Sauropod Vertebra Picture
of the Week religiously.  It is, and I think I can say this without

The most recent post is a brief write-up of my new paper in the
Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature on the inevitability of
electronic-only publishing and why the ICZN has to come to terms with
it.
