Frankenstein's monster

Too bad AutoFormat doesn't auto-tag things like this with rfd. --Connel MacKenzie 23:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm. I just saw an attributive use of this in the last week or two, in the sense of a man-made creation gone awry. I'll see if I can figure out where. --EncycloPetey 00:12, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

And how would AF know? The format is fine ;-) Robert Ullmann 13:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Strong keep because:

Harold Joseph Laski, Reflections on the Revolution of Our Time (1968) p. 109:

• They created a Frankenstein's monster which they did not imagine could grow out of their control.

Roger Horrocks, Jo Campling, Male Myths and Icons: Masculinity in Popular Culture (1995) p. 141:

• He is like a Frankenstein's monster in reverse: everything that is pretty is combined together to produce a perfect androgyne.

Euan George Nisbet, Living Earth: A Short History of Life and Its Home (1991) p. 84:

• Like the English language, the eukaryote cell is a chimera, a Frankenstein's monster, assembled from bits and pieces of genetic information...

Norman R. Augustine, Augustine's Laws (1977) p. 68:

• Somehow, the law does not always seem to serve those who created it, becoming at times a Frankenstein's monster of sorts.
