(Yes, "ations" is one syllable. It's what Calvin would have wanted.)<br /><br />It gets funnier if, like my elementary school's theme song, the hymn is about how great martyrdom is and I hope I get persecuted someday. Because the tyrannosaur poem is, um, the opposite of that.Nate Gabrielhttp://comparativelysuperlative.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
