TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Perhaps,
blood is thicker than water,
but true friendship
(is so pure that it)
needs no blood.

         WHERE TRUTH IS WOUNDED
-- proverbs of a new era

Supernatural solutions never heal
where truth is wounded.
                   *
One supernaturalist claim makes many.
(A supernaturalist claim is like a lie:
to maintain it and to prevent it from
being refuted, it needs the support of
yet more lies, yet more supernaturalist
claims.)
                   *
Scientific truth is stranger than
religious fiction.
                   *
Speak the truth and shame the
theodemonist.

           UPRIGHT BIPEDALISM

It's all very well for sociobiologists
to discover, describe, explain and favor
upright bipedalism.
But how does one explain that bipeds,
especially unfeathered ones, should be
upright when it is to their personal
disadvantage, and unusual too?
