I
call this one the "Mad Cow Nebula". You can see the cow's head in
the upper part of the nebula, and he is issuing an obscene jesture with
his right hand. His torso seems to be rather like that of a bee,
or hornet. Being strapped with such a body might well be the
reason for his irritation. He ought to be thankful for the one
human hand he possesses. He clearly needs to attend an anger
management class.
