Slightly German reflections

1. The flood myth: a mighty roe deer cull (with no evidence of surplus).

2. Decanting cant Kant can't turn your aunt into an ant (unless she's already an ant, in which case it's (debatably) fairly likely you are also an ant and so (arguably) incapable of decanting any variety of philosophy let alone that difficult metaphysical cross-stitch popular two centuries or so ago).

3. If it starts with "Mein" it's mine but if it ends with "Kampf" it's no one in particular's - and yet also everyone's, as SEEING through the mesmerising ORATORY of a man with well-groomed facial hair is a struggle (at the worst of times).

4. Your tuba is everything, it's how you find love, it's your airlift to the afterlife.
