manipulation has brought us the joy of widespread mechanical transportation. Mechanical human propulsion provides many advantages to persons in motion and their luggage. Problems tend to arise when the rapidly moving transportation device encounters an unplanned object in its trajectory, or no longer has the support of its medium (e.g., an aeroplane falling out of the sky). Rapid deceleration, and interaction with sharp projectiles also compound the negative effects and stresses of transportation malfunction.

Incorporating resistance to noxious chemical compounds is now a part of life for many in bacterial cultures who struggle with trying to find a place for themselves in this society.

One must also consider the moth and its hobbies that have developed along side the light bulb and the wayward cows new secure life behind the electric fence. If any emotion can be distilled from the thin mass of metal we call the power grid it must be called joy. Occasionally, through accidental or legal circumstance, one can be woven into the power grid. Immediate overwhelming joy is the instantaneous result of this situation.

portions of the physical form have presented folks with situations of such speed and complexity that any adaptation or response often fails to maintain basic function. As a rolling fragment of metal travelling faster than sound encounters a semi– solid mass it transfers its energy from motion to the structure of the recipient. The recipient‘s architecture, efficent in design, has few superfluous components, small percentages of damage often bring to an end any continuation of the architectures possible expression.

Colophon This book was crEated in a mass of tissue ( A p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 4 0 0 - 1 6 0 0 g r a m s o f i t ) encased in sturdy bone, powered by various fruity b e v e r a g e s a n d t a s t y b r e a d s. The placement of the ink on this paper was made into a physical form by the co-ordination of muscles and such organic machinery in conjunction with other human-made tools of significantly diminished elegance. These tools include a box of somewhat complicated switches connected to a bulging, glowing sheet of glass. This sheet of glass is ever changing, the bright, colourful patterns flicker at a reassuring frequency. Quick, quick. It was output onto thin sheets of almost inert trees. These trees have been refined past the point of recognition for the sole purpose of bringing more synaptic doilies and knit-wear into this fine place we love. The letters appearing on these pages have important names. They are called Trajan, Dante, by lads & lasses, the world over.
