  2. buddhist ontology

    I know some of you may hate philosophy, and I can understand that, but bear with me. I'd like to share this article about Buddhist ontology, it's pretty amazing I thought.

That is the matter of tooth size, cooking, and diet; these are closely related, and they relate to digestion and metabolism. The earliest hominids and their ancestors had teeth that were similar to present day apes, including large canine teeth and larger molars (for grinding up vegetable matter.

    Baseball

    What caused the electric air in the park
    To pace the game from inning to inning?
    Did the World Series spit that special spark
    To send players running, the ball spinning?

    The pitcher winds, cocks his arm, snaps the wrist;
    The batter spread on the balls of his feet
