We Are the Sperm Cells

[The Last Conformist]

Procol Harum? Never heard of. I've got a Sarah Brightman version of A Whiter Shade of Pale.

She'd done Macavity too. Maybe that was what I was thinking of.

I just reached the end of the chapter about the palatine bones, so I guess I'll take the opportunity to go to sleep now. See ya.

Studying while posting? Tsk tsk.

Btw, a cover of the original would just be a shade of its true genius. Seek out the original, immediately.

Oh, every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great! If we dare to waste one, God gets quite irate...

every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good, every sperm is wanted, in your neighborhood? is that how it goes?

The official sperm song lyrics:

There are Jews in the world, there are Buddists,
There are Hindus and Mormons and then
There are those that follow Mohammad, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,
You don't have to have any clothes on,
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came, because

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Morman,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine,
God needs everybody's,
Mine, and mine, and mine.

Let the pagans spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

On the whole "Orgins of Cats", I have consulted the almightly repository of human knowledge:

CATS The Musical is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber (ALW) in 1981 based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot.

Cats was first shown in London's West End, at New London Theatre, on May 11, 1981. It was originally produced onstage by Cameron Mackintosh and ALW's The Really Useful Theatre Company. The show then made its debut in Broadway on September 7, 1982 at the Winter Garden Theatre. It played 8,949 performances in London and 7,485 in New York, making it the longest-running musical in both Broadway and London history. (On Broadway, it is the longest running show, musical or non-musical; in London, it is surpassed by The Mousetrap, which opened in the 1950s and is still running). - The first night of the German-speaking world premiere of the musical Cats took place in Vienna, Austria, in the Theater an der Wien, on September 24, 1983.

That settles that!

Babbler they have a play on Cats how could you not expect this.

Cats are cute little fury creatures, familiar to children around the world. It is perfectly sutable material for a play.

Sperm is not, since any play about that would have to into graphic detail of sexual intercourse. That fine in a more intellectally setting, or a humorous one, but the play sould quite childish in tone, which creeps me out...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

wikipedia is incorrect, because Cats uses lyrics from various Eliot poems, not just "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats"

I must say that Japanese people (the ones in Japan) are the strangest, weirdest, kookiest, most bonkers people in the entire world.

That must make me Japanese, then.
Seriously, I'm a nerd, and I sympathize with a lot of the "strange" things you comment on.

Me studying? No, it's just that I belong to the fairly select bunch of people who'll read texts on evolutionary anatomy for fun.

 

[Sparta]

I think you'd have probably been safe using a stronger adverb than "fairly" to describe the selectiveness of that group...

So you are studing for KO Creationism 101 by Perfection.

Not really. Most creationists are to ignorant of the subject to make any daft statements about it.
