Photo: Leeds Teaching Hospitals/Leeds Museums and Galleries Oh girl, you weren’t kidding. When you described your new boyfriend — powerful, experienced in performing funeral rites, 3,000 years old — I have to be honest, I thought he sounded a little too good to be true.

The model was then fitted with an artificial larynx able to re-create your Nesy’s sexy voice.Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. Ehh. I could listen to that all day.
“He certainly can’t speak at the moment,” David Howard told the New York Times, clearly jealous. “But I think it’s perfectly plausible to suggest that one day it will be possible to produce words that are as close as we can make them to what he would have sounded like.”
