From Dr. [placeholder]’s treatise on parapsychosocial
phenomena in stuffed animals

“Cycle Super Highway” is a term used to describe a state of being attained by stuffed animals that are on the edge of consciousness, but not yet in the realm of sentience.

It was coined by [placeholder placeholdington] in 1898 in a controversial study involving the transplanting of stuffing from botched taxidermy experiments into toy animals which were then unknowingly sold to the public. A scandal ensued when several parents reported erratic and obsessive behaviour in their children, the most notable (and contemporary press-covered) example being that of a 12-year old boy who stole a bike and attempted to cycle away with his stuffed giraffe [Name] stapled to his forehead, before being apprehended in the middle of a local highway while yelling “I’M FCKING JESUS [sic]”. He was committed to a [madhouse] for several months, and strangely enough the stuffed giraffe disappeared shortly afterwards and was never recovered. [I have the cabinet of Dr. Caligari in my head at the moment for some reason?]

The experiments of [placeholder placeholdington], then professor of [fancy word for stuffed animals] at [something British-sounding university “Coddle-upon-Twee University”] were halted on ethical grounds and he was ousted from academia entirely, spending the rest of his days as a miniature-used boat salesman before finally being arrested for selling drugs to sheep near what is now the M6 bypass next to [somewhere stupid sounding].
