Death am I, and my present task Destruction

Nuclear disarmament is a task that should be readily taken heart. What possible military target requires the use of forces that levels a city in an instant. Nuclear weapons exist as weapons to burn innocent  civilian populations.


A thousand simultaneous suns
Arising in the sky 

Might equal that great radiance,With that great glory vie.
Amazement entered him; his hair Rose up; he bowed his head;
He humbly lifted folded hands, And worshipped God. . . .
Death  am I, and my present task Destruction. 

Rad documentary: cassowary dissection

Watch "Inside Nature's Giants Episode 12/15 The Dinosaur Bird (Channel 4)" on YouTube

Dissected a pigeon in vertebrate zoology lab on Monday and noticed some similar things. This documentary highlights some good points on the similarities between dinosaurs and birds.
I think it is so rad that this show exists to actually show a dissection of some amazing creatures. I look forward to watching more of this program.
