Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is
no longer where it is at.
Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

It's all fun and games until someone loses molecular cohesion.

More fun with dictionaries: While searching for the correct spelling of "conscion" (which I couldn't find anywhere, and in fact everyone bar Je denied having ever heard before - it was eventually found as part of the much more commonly used "unconscionable") I came across the delightfully saucy "concupiscence", which apparently means ardent or illicit sexual desire. Ooooh-errr!
Search: concupiscence
Results: What the Catholic Encyclopedia has to say on the matter: "But the lower appetite is of itself unrestrained, so as to pursue sensuous gratifications independently of the understanding and without regard to the good of the higher faculties." Sounds like fun to me!
