Passing from the chicken to the squid (or, Holy Synchronicity, Jungman!*)
Corn’s post of course made me think of collage-ist and bird-obssessive extraordinaire, Max Ernst and his masterpiece “Une Semaine de Bonte.” In my image search I randomly chose from the the squinty li’l thumbnails one that looked interesting but I couldn’t quite make out what it was, except it looked marginally avian and what should I come up with but a fab Ernst collage featuring:
a squid.**
Kinda like this cool one I saw at the Musee d’Historie Naturelle, Galerie de l’Evolution:***
Yes, leaves something to be desired technically, but they kept it really dim in there and we couldn’t use a flash. Wait’ll I post the pix of the annelids in blue-backlit jars.
* Roto, I’m expecting a song from you to the tune of the Village People’s “YMCA” based on Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes etc, starting, of course, with
“Jungman, there’s no need to feel down …
** And boobies, too.
*** Wow. A a country where an entire wing (actually it’s own renovated building — Boatdog, I think you’d dig the exhibition part of it) of the national museum of natural history is called the Hall of Evolution and it doesn’t occur to anyone to even consider disputing the notion of evolution. What a thought.

Dang. Ernst pic is too big. Well, I don’t feel like messing with it now, so you’ll just have to imagine the squid tentacles. Or click on this link:

Jungman, there’s no need to feel down
I said Jungman your theories were sound
Just cause you’re not in their book
The Psychos should have a new look!
You may be re de scov erd!
You’re not in DSM4, You’re not in the DSM4
Head shrinkers debunk, call your writings junk
They’re sorting methods and they’re hard to please
Not taught in Psychology just in Humanities
I guess you’re just not their archetype now!
Jungman, you’re book’s on the back shelf
Jungman, You’re a Shadow of Self
Don’t know if it’s your Anima or you’re Animus
You shouldn’t have missed Sigmund’s bus!
You’re not in the DSM4! The DSM4!
Just sit tight my friend, you’ll win in the end
you’ll be vin de cated!
You’re books will no longer be shelved
New DSM4 comes out in 2012!
That’s all I could come up with on the spurm of the moment,
Jude, and it came in spurts.

Pre-emptive strike. I know it’s “your” not “you’re” before “books”
I thought I’d save you the trouble. It was written in a hurry, I should edit myself before pushing “Submit”. Otherwise I must “submit” later.

Is that the “Fibonacci sequence” in the etching? Boatdog?

The new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders coming out in 2012 will be known as the DSMV (DSM5). It will have numerous changes, we are still learning and have a long way to go. We may never fully unravel these Gordian Knots and it is likely we are changing the equations through treatment itself. I’m not a psychologist, I just play one on TV.

Forthrightly faux Fibbonaccian facsimile factoring favorably, frankly.

Roto, I knew you — and possibly only you — could do it. As the French say, Bravo.
Boatdog, I stand in awe of your onomatopoeic prowess.
P.S. Isn’t the DSMV where you go to get rudely treated while getting your driver’s license renewed?
