I have seen the dead.

And they were facinating. Friends, I have been so very busy. I went to the World Taxidermy Championships on Thursday and a report is forthcoming, I promise. Just give me a day or so and check back ... there is much to be told. For starters, the roots:

taxi.dermy: taxis (Latin: movement) + dermis (Latin: skin) = movement of the skin

... more (details, gruesome and otherwise) later.
