A Thought for the Day, and Recommendation for Amusement

On forms that ask for one's race, may one check "other" and write in "human"? Is not "human" a race?

For amusement, do try to get Stephen Lynch's songs. Information on his CDs can be found on his website. Some of his songs are controversial (foul language, indecent material, controversial material, et cetera) but they are all quite amusing. Unfortunately, We do not know of any songs that can be heard online. (Our Press Office has no comment as to how We have obtained Our collection of Stephen Lynch songs.)

I've long hated the description of color and ethnic background as "race." This makes it seem like there are deep genetic divides, like we're seperate creatures from each other. I can understand race in terms of elf and dwarf, but Negroid and Caucasian? These were distinctions invented in the 18th century by hack scientists trying to classify humans like they were plants and animals.
