I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

And then there was that book on the treatments of constipation, by that famous Scottish prophet... wait for it.... The Bran seer.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Ah yes the Brahan seer. He did bridges and pylons but did he foresee Brexit?

He was very prolific and well known in many Genres from the classic "Nails on the bannister" to his collaboration in chemistry "poisonous elements" co authored with R.Sennick.

Reminds me of another book entitled 'Obsession with Genitalia' co-authored by P. Ennis and Mike Litoris.
