There is no linguistic root for the word 'pyramid'. Really. Every language in the history of languages has been scoured for any word that could possibly be the root for the word pyramid and one does not exist. Yet, there are pyramid structures on every continent in the world, and a good many of them are so ancient that their true purpose is a mystery.
These are structures that have stood for thousands of years. There are dolmens and standing stones and ancient buildings that have no business being where they are or built the way that they are and people still get bogged down in Paris Hilton and her filthy snatch.
Know what isn't interesting? Tyler Perry. The dragon honestly is still trying to figure out who he is. Is he a woman, is he a man, is he old, is he young, is he even funny?
People get bogged down in silly shit like American Idol and Lindsay Lohan and celebrity train wrecks and all of this other crap and how often do people settle back and look at some of this ancient shit and be all like: "Motherfuckers built a Peruvian city on top of a mountain with stone quarried hundreds of miles away and they did it with rope and llamas!?"
Now that's some insane shit.
Know what else is amazing? Llamas.
Know why? They're the most efficient pack animal in existence. They can carry heavy loads for long distances, require very little upkeep and feeding, will eat just about anything (they're favorite food is duck l'orange) and they produce wool that is among the warmest of fibers known.
Holy snap, llamas rock tits!
While we're on the subject of llamas, let's talk about moose.
Know why moose isn't pluralized with a 'ee' like feet? Because it is an American Indian word and was only added to the English Lexicon in the last four hundred years.
Know how the dragon knows all of this random shit? Neither does the dragon.
It probably has something to do with relentless curiosity and a small touch of one time being kicked by a horse. Which is probably unrelated but might also not be.
Yet, like ancient philosophers who devoured knowledge the way an eight year old devours popsicles on a balmy summer afternoon (because if your tongue ain't a weird color, it ain't summer), the dragon craves brain-food. And by that the dragon doesn''t mean browsing Wikipedia for nonsense that anyone can edit, although lately I hear they've been running a pretty tight ship on all the bogus information out there, it means reading textbooks that the dragon happens to find, it means watching National Geographic documentaries and owning them on DVD so that they can be watched again and again, it means touching the hot stove again because Newton's second law of physics simply MUST be put to the test. . .again, it means run-on sentences and getting used to writing a blog every day so that people out there can also find the thirst for knowlegde in themselves, it means realizing that no one reads this blog but doing it anyway, it means realizing that the 'it' in the last portion of this run on sentence was an undefined pronoun and might not be fully understood and the writer in the dragon might be slipping a little bit, it means realizing that's what editors are for and not taking them for granted, it means only now realizing that the word knowledge was misspelled a few lines back, it means the dragon kinda wants a popsicle right now. . .
