| With April 22nd heralding another Earth Day, you may be asking yourself what it all means. Should you be recycling extra hard today? Brush your teeth without leaving the water running? Dress up in a bear costume and have a tea party on Ralph Klein’s lawn? Or simply break down in a fit of sobbing, defeated and overwhelmed by the powers that be.
Personally I like to contemplate the future with apocalyptic details and morbid fantasies involving corporate evildoers and wildlife. Or if I’m really looking for some fun with genetic mutation nuclear-waste possibilities, I head on over to humandescent.com. A voyage into "what if" brought to you by some fellow named Martin, Photoshop and what were pleasant images of wildlife, people and domesticated animals. Martin seems to have this compulsion to mesh species in new and interesting ways. Perhaps you too have meditated on the merits of a Lab-seagull cross, kitten penguin, chimp lion, or generally what humanity would look like if we were all mouths. Some combinations are laughable in their absurdity, others are disturbingly reminiscent of photos buried in some classified medical file under the heading "side effects."
So whether you have plans to storm Parliament or clean up some trash on the highway, enjoy the day. If it’s unseasonably warm, why not invite a few friends by and barbecue some beef, chicken, farmed salmon or duck corgi? The possibilities are endless! |
