Here is a quote from Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland” which takes place between Bayard, the bloodhound and Alice when she decides to veer from the path pre-destined for her according to Underland’s Oraculum:
Bayard: The Hatter would not have given himself up for just any Alice.
Alice: Where did they take him?
Bayard: To the Red Queen’s castle.
Alice: We’re going to rescue him.
Bayard: That is not foretold.
Alice: I don’t care! He wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for me!
Bayard: The Frabjous Day is almost upon us. You must prepare to meet the Jabberwocky!
Alice: From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I’ve been told what I must do and who I must be. I’ve been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot. I’ve been accused of being Alice and of not being Alice but this is my dream. I’ll decide where it goes from here.
Bayard: If you diverge from the path…
Alice: I make the path!

I want to thank Dave Barry for this insightful blurb. Fruit flies; who knew?
Despite several million years of thinking virtually nonstop about sex, guys have made very little progress toward answering such basic questions about human sexuality as: How can you obtain more of it? How much talking is required? What is the role of jewelry? How important is the size of a guy’s, um, car? For guys, these are uncharted waters. That’s why I am so pleased by a recent Reuters article concerning research being done by scientists at Stanford University into the sex life of fruit flies. This research is significant because fruit flies have many biological similarities to humans. For example, both species eat fruit. The list goes on and on.
Hey, Aristotle said something…
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
And so did Carl Jung:
“The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him.”
