In'ards

IN'ARDS, n. The stomach, heart, soul and other bowels. Many eminent investigators do not class the soul as an in'ard, but that acute observer and renowned authority, Dr. Gunsaulus, is persuaded that the mysterious organ known as the spleen is nothing less than our important part. To the contrary, Professor Garrett P. Servis holds that man's soul is that prolongation of his spinal marrow which forms the pith of his no tail; and for demonstration of his faith points confidently to the fact that no tailed animals have no souls. Concerning these two theories, it is best to suspend judgment by believing both.

2010 Update: The seat and source of choler, melancholy, biliousness and revulsion. The diet of the unprosperous cannibal.

  2. Inwards have their own life, and when they go crazy, you'd better find another body to jump in, or a train to jump under. :)

  3. "The diet of an unprosperous cannibal".

    The word 'cannibal' has several metaphorical connotations. Those most associated with prosperity would either be in the Marketing or Publishing fields.

    Although in Manufacturing, it can refer to the reuse of salvageable parts.

    the soul,differs from the
    in'ards(ie,the heart)
    as it is faith based
    with hopes,dreams,
    and a belief in the
    goodness of all humanity
    as its in'ards...
    a common thread
    between all critters
    giant or small...
    some say the ,big bang,
    was simply God's soul exploding
    giving each critter a piece of
    love to share...
    how is that for an impromptu reply

    may your day be filled with
    BLESSINGS

  6. 1) Or a train to *jump under*

    2) Should have said *throw up*

    Concerning these two theories, is best to suspend judgment by believing both.

    "I think I can," puffed the little locomotive.

  9. Aha! Dr. Kildare is secret code for **Kill-Dare** which proves the little loco-motive will find another body to jump into:

    1) "Dexter" -- Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a **serial killer** with standards who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood-spatter analyst.

    2) "American Psycho" -- The film focuses on Wall Street yuppie Patrick Bateman (Bale), whose mental instability and blood lust leads him to **serial killing**. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on April 14, 2000.

    I BELIEVE.
