Because someone finally finally finally

Because someone finally finally finally asked me what the name of this site means, I'll post some clarification. The title that is as long as the alphabet is from a David Wilcox song called "Big Mistake". David Wilcox is a pagan who can't keep Christianity out of his music. You should make all efforts to get ahold of his albums Home Again and Big Horizon.

Anyway, this song pokes fun at the theory of evolution, laughing that anyone could suggest that breaking chromosomes and waiting a zillion years could produce "an ostrich, a jellyfish, a kangaroo, and a Romeo.'' The last verse (below) is my favorite, as it is less sciency and more poetic. [WARNING Jon and Erin: there is a line about kissing in here. Read at your own risk.]

The choreography
of a coincidence--
At the turning point, there was eternity
behind a moment's glance.
It was for you and me,
timing made us laugh--
The fact that anyone could find their only one
along this darkened path.

It was a Big Mistake
to have eyes that see
to have love like this
inside of me
to have lips that smile
as I swim your kiss
to have lives that will forever
every part of this
And the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above
and the autumn leaves and the falling love
The still reflection in a moonlit lake
All, they said, it was a Big Mistake.
