For Last Years Words Belong To Last Years Language And Next Years Words Await Another Voice.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language And next year’s words await another voice.

T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets (via bookmania)

I Spy…

I spy two budgies, a goldfinch, three pennies, a bat, a tarantula, five warblers, and the skull of a woodrat; two bacula, an eraser, a cardinal’s wing, a bobby pin, a bushtit, and some red and white string; four pistachios, a snipe tail, a magnifying glass, five tacks, a paperclip chain, a sea urchin, and a pencil that is black; a chipmunk, two hummingbird nests, two eggs that are blue, fifteen mammal skulls, two kinglets, and a murre egg too!

The flip side.

There once was a man from Pawtucket,

Who read about a man from Nantucket.

But his dick was too small,

He couldn’t suck it at all,

After numerous attempts, he said fuck it.

Extinct lizard newly renamed after President Obama: Obamadon gracilis

“The lizard has these very tall, straight teeth and Obama has these tall, straight incisors and a great smile,” said Nick Longrich, a paleontologist at the school in New Haven, Connecticut…

Mr Longrich said he waited until after the recent US election to name the dinosaur. “It would look like we were kicking him when he’s down if he lost and we named this extinct lizard after him,” he said in an interview.

“Romneydon” was never under consideration…

In 2005, entomologists named three species of North American slime-mold beetles agathidium bushi, agathidium cheneyi and agathidium rumsfeldi in honor of the then-president, vice president and secretary of defense.
