Eklektek is a writing repository relevant for both the diversity of the intended subjects and themes, and the philosophical aspect of thought independent of belonging. Ek is abbr for kenetic Energy; Energy stored in motion. The term lek is a type of animal mating behavior that creates a paradox within Darwinian theory... a contradiction within the "Fisherian Runaway" hypothesis explaining, among other things, the extra-ornate plumages of birds. The etymology of lek in this context is from a Swedish noun denoting pleasurable, less rule-bound games and activities, something akin to 'play'. In other fun: Logic. The smallest logic satisfying all conditions is K. Iff you enjoy weird mixed metaphors and non-sequitur then you are in the right place. Lastly, the letter K is thought to have originated from a hieroglyph of a hand, which must be found apropos to the art of writing.

Nice, Nice, Very Nice

Oh, a sleeping drunkard 
Up in central park 

 And a lion-hunter 
In the jungle dark 

 And a Chinese dentist 
And a British Queen 

All fit together 
In the same machine 

Nice, nice very nice 
Nice, nice very nice 
Nice, nice very nice 

So many different people 
In the same device 

-Kurt Vonnegut

This poem is titled "The Fifty-Third Calypso" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s "Cats Cradle"

I love computers! (yes, I had to look it up)

Thanx, you gave credit due where it was deserved... I went to the site and have read someother works by Mr. Vonnegut, a damn good writer. Wish I had searched the web earlier for 'Chinese Dentist poem'.
