The Real Live Preacher had a post recently that talked about his thoughts as he drove by some road kill. I know, I know, not the normal catalyst for deep thoughts in my life, but the points he makes are really interesting, like:
This particular opossum will not be repaired, I?m afraid. The service technicians we have are very limited. They can fix broken appendages and do other minor repairs, but really, when the casing is broken open and the insides spill out, that?s pretty much it. Even now the sun and the atmosphere are sucking the moisture from what?s left of the opossum, drying it into something that looks disturbingly like beef jerky. This drying process makes me think that water is a significant part of the design, though I can?t imagine why one would use such an unstable substance as a primary building material.
Be sure and check-out the entire article for more of his insight into the world through the lens of a dead marsupial.
