The Mammal and The Reptile – A Painful Story

One’s got cold blood, and one’s got warm. Who’s the little egg, and who’s the little worm?

– Unknown

There is naught in this world but pain. Pain receptors can be found in both mammals and reptiles, if you dissect them and are looking really hard. But there is no reason to do that any more because we did it already, and found them. These horrible nodes are called nociceptors, if ya nasty.

Pain serves a purpose, of course. “Yowza!” When you get hurt, you are less likely to continue or repeat the behavior that hurt you. That’s why I don’t go to Denny’s anymore. Some famous reptiles include: crocodile, turtle, Jar Jar Bink. Some famous mammals include: dog, scientist, and Jar Jar Bink (he’s both). If you are nasty.

Some believe that pain inspires art. We throw rocks at them usually, and they thank us because they think we’re making them Michelangelo. Get them outta here! Creation is an inviolate act, and those searching for the divine need not descend to Hell for fuel. That’s why I don’t go to Denny’s anymore. I wrote the poem up there by the way.
