The Origin of Dolph-ens

I think it was Dolph Lundgren who once said, "My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well."

I think most dolphins could identify.

Creationimal ordinariis

Fins, intelligence, blow-holes,

What's not to like?

A tiger?
Claws, sharp teeth, pouncing

Which would you rather be?

Elephants?
Big feet & toes, small, whip-like tails, patchy hair, coarse skin

Giraffe - always trying, reaching so high for leafy vegetation

Beautiful, but kinda Anti-social, right?

Melons?
too wet

Isn't there an animal that goes far beyond these categories?  What about a creator animal - genus creatoradins phylum ordinariis prophetus?  What?  I just like picturing a brush of melon (color) painting over our ordinary distinctions, breaking down every barrier - by word or by re-enacting (re-ordering and creating again) - distinctions become invisible and new creation is manifest - re-creating as function - and we need new categories to describe each subsequent creative act.

Going back to the tiger - in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, spelt with an 'y' (or is it "a" 'y' since its really an "i" sound?) well, no, really - they do... pounce - and if I were to accuse you of pouncing - it would seem like an insult - too animalian an accusation - unless you happened to have a special place in your heart for 'tigger' - cause that's what tigger's do bethd!


So maybe the jury is out.  Let me know what you think
