dinosaur

The greatest, most diverse and successful class of land vertibrates ever, believed to have originated sometime in the Triassic about 240 million years ago, and disappearing around 65 million years ago. Gods among animals, and awesome testaments to the power of creation (or evolution, if your must insist that these words be mutually exclusive) they were physiologically superior to mammals and gave rise to birds.

Often our society shows a disinterest with the phenomena of the dinosauria, approaching paleontology with a "they're dead, who cares" attitude. They are also ridiculed for having "died out" when they in fact persisted a period of something like 160 million years--more than 40 times longer than the time elapsed since the earliest human anscestors appeared. Even the word "dinosaur" has a deprecative connotation, implying something that is outdated or obsolete.

Stop for a moment to consider that these animals did, in fact exist, and are not the chimeras of children. This writer would maintain, however, that anyone holding the view that an interest in dinosaurs is nerdy and childish deserves to have his or head bitten off by a Charcharodontosaurus.

Lots of kids my age got hooked on dinosaurs for a while--it was a childhood disease, like mumps or chicken pox, and if left alone, most kids recovered and then had a lifetime immunity to dinosaurmania. But I was that rare exception, a terminal, chronic case.-- Robert T. Bakker, "The Dinosaur Heresies"

Dendrophilia by Promiscuous Corndog © 2002

Written by Bobbert Mackenzie & Jay Best



Today, I humped a tree

I had to pee

No place to go but behind a tree

I saw

A hollow knothole

So I said to myself

I’ll give it a go



I humped a tree

I humped a tree

I humped a tree

Ohhhhhhhhhhh



The cops got me

They had to stop me

They threw me in jail

That’s where you come in

I need you to pay my bail



I humped a tree

I humped a tree

They threw me in jail



I humped a tree

I humped a tree

They threw me in jail



….beeb

gender

A societal construct that is, in actuality, about as useless and restrictive as race.

There may be unfathomable, uncrossable chasm that exist between certain types of people, but gender should not be considered one of them.

MurderCoil

A melodic hardcore metal band recently formed in 2002 by the precocious vocalist Tory Lawrence and guitarist Corey Colwell, that generally sings of themes involving death, misanthropy, and corruption. Also recently joining the band (prior to guest musicians) are George Allen playing the bass and Bryan DeMarco on drums.

They don't even have a demo released yet, but look for it when it comes out!

MurderCoil will be playing at BSC soon with Asteroid, Metallivore, and Immaculate Deception. Be there!

empirical

Of, or relatining to evidence accepted by empiricism. The fallacy of believing that nothing exists except what is proven by scientific evidence, of which there is no scientific evidence to prove; an arbitrary decision to to narrow the bounds of reality to the bounds of the scientific method.

"A trillion years ago we were a civilization like any other. We believed in the transmittance of souls, the Virgin matrix, the infallibility of Pi Squared, looked upon prayer as a regenerative feedback to the Great Programmer, and so on and so forth. But then skeptics appeared, empiricists and accidentalists, and in nine centuries they came to the conclusion that There's No One Up There At All and consequently things happen not out of any higher plan or purpose, but--well, they just happen." --Stanislaw Lem, from "The Cyberiad"
