Awkward velociraptor?

So...having fun writing the World Lit 1 paper. It's long and rambly so far, but I have a feeling it'll shape up nice and good once it's been left alone long enough. There are some points where I just want to laugh when I'm writing it, for no good reason -- mostly because the topic I'm writing on is the destruction of the archetypal maiden (in other words, women in these stories get the short end of the stick). Not really laugh-worthy, yet here I am giggling at the difference between figurative and literal deflowering.

Anyway...random tangent. I'm going to go back to writing the paper now. Especially because I want to finish it, however crappy it may be, by tonight.

Isn't deflowering in itself... a figurative? Hm... No flowers? Ambiguitee.

Also, this is totally unrelated.

Mr Ryan North says: "he's not talking about birds. he is talking about full sized t-rexes who can fly. i am not one to say that evolution dropped the ball here, but i know one consonant-loving former nasa roboticist who would be living in ABJECT TERROR today if there were flying velociraptors roaming the skies"
