| I had a dream about dogheaded men last night - they had taken over the world and kept humans in a state of slavery through drugs. I had just been to watch the Dark Knight Rises which I expect explains some of the imagery in my dream, but there aren't any dogheaded men in the film - and I haven't actually read this thread either (one of the few in IHTM I haven't!) |

I had a similar dream a year or so ago. Only in mine the dog-headed men were guards for some superior hostile race after the apocalypse. They were quite Egyptian in appearance, Anubis-like, very tall and upright, with blue/grey fur covering their bodies. |

Oh. And what a fitting avatar I've got.  |

| That avatar, is that from one of the paintings that we have further up this thread? |

| I'm not sure! That painting must have passed me by, but I shall go check. My avatar is from a picture by J.J. Grandville, a French artist from the 1800s. He did some very strange anthropomorphic work that pleases me greatly! Crow morticians, fighting cocks... |

Such aliens are a key plot device of the original Stargate film
Here's a model (not a still from the film) of one of the little blighters:

| Yes, I remember the film, special_farces. My dog-headed men were a little more feral, but certainly similar (like Anubis, as I said). No regalia though. I certainly hadn't been watching the film or series before my dream! |

Top notch! And a nice touch was that this was the banner ad when I visited the site:

For some reason the laughing mannequin... made me laugh out loud 
Sadly, has reminded me of many pointless hours thumbing through stock photo books and CDs at a previous job. |

Mmmm - Bane...
Hey, it's almost relevant. The mask does make him look like a dog-headed man. One of the short-faced breeds, in a muzzle.
No? Oh, ok... |
