OTHER PLACES TO GO:
'They enforced their live strength with the power of dead things. Dead things did their bidding.'
Jack London,
White Fang.
'I just imagine him sitting up there under a sea of papers and occasionally pulling one from the bottom of a stack (probably with a week-old donut smushed in the middle of the stack somewhere) and thinking "ah yes... I ought to do something about this."'

Synapsids ("fused arch"), formerly known as "mammal-like reptiles", are a class of
amniotes (the other being the
sauropsids) that developed one hole in their skull (temporal fenestra) behind each eye, about 320 million years ago during the late
Carboniferous. The 4,500 species of living
synapsids, known as mammals, are currently the dominant land animals, and include both aquatic (whales) and avian (bats) species, and the
largest animal ever known to
have existed (the blue whale).
'The U.S. is such an underdog now, I'm obliged to support it.'
Rich Kuziara,
Brick Lane, 7 March 2008.

'Having an infant is largely sleep deprivation combined with janitorial duties. Sort of like being in a Vietnamese prison camp.'
