Last night I took in The Encyclopedia Show. If you haven't, you should. This month's theme was dinosaurs!, so the poetry came with a bit of dust, some bones, and not a few wishes.
In attendance to lay out the truthiest truth was world-class paleontologist, Paul Sereno.
You can listen to the whole show here.
The poetry was lively, the Chopin a perfect venue for such nonsense, and, in the end, according to the night's fact checker (complete with internet hookup), truth did not quite win out over anthropomorphism, imagination, and whimsy.
Perhaps next month.
