"Parvorder odontoceti" is a fun title because it sounds like it could be an Italian opera, but is the Latin taxonomical term for toothed whales, so I guess it's supposed to be an opera about the crazed dolphins on either side of Snagglepuss.

I think that might be a nod to Katy Perry's backup sharks.

Both, yeah. The dolphins have serious Left Shark vibes and then the opera name is a joke that uses the dolphins.

I would actually be interested in reading SMG's take on Twilight.

I have searched for and can't find it. In brief, he says that Bella self-actualizes by domineering and sexually using Edward, a wealthy but mentally stunted older man who mopes over a condition she recognizes as loving baller, and demands he give to her, so she can be an immortal bad-rear end.

If you're (rightly) thinking none of that was what Stephanie Meyer was going for, I remember him saying a few times that he hadn't read the books and was just talking about the films.

Although since Meyer has said she was writing a fantasy for herself and other women, I suppose there is a sense in which Edward is, at root, a defanged source of danger paraded around for sexual excitement. Maybe it just came across more clearly in the films? I haven't seen them.

quote:

"If All Men Were Brothers, Would You Let One Marry Your Sister?" is a science fiction short story by Theodore Sturgeon. It first appeared in Harlan Ellison's anthology Dangerous Visions in 1967.

It is about an Earthman who comes to the planet Vexvelt, shunned by the rest of colonized universe for unknown reasons. He finds it a utopian paradise, but then discovers to his shock and horror that incest is actively encouraged there. When it is shown that the reason that the planet is a paradise is because of this encouragement of incest (or, rather, the non-suppression of sexual instincts and urges including incest), then questions are raised of the reader as to how we face "unpleasant" issues.

No, but it's got a very touching running story about the friendship between a bowling ball (armadillo) and vacuum cleaner (baby mammoth.)

That's a tale on the morality of humanity's use/abuse of animals to serve its needs, right? Presumably it's taken to the awful extreme to really hammer the point across.
