That About Sums It All Up

I’ve written about our beloved f—uck word before. Fuck is a great word, so I try to reserve it for times when it really matters. Of course, there have been many times in history where truly, The Word was the single most appropriate. Satirical cartoonist Martin Rowson has compiled 67 of them into his new book: Fuck: The Human Odyssey. There is an online gallery of the book you can visit. Below are some of my favorites.

Dinosaurs Rule the Earth

The Extinction of the Dinosaurs

The Ten Commandments

Monasticism Keeps Learning Alive Through the Dark Ages

Luther Launches the Reformation

Newton Discovers the Law of Gravity

The Titanic

The Great Depression

9/11

Man Harnesses the Power of Genetics

I imagine much of this satire is closer to the truth than we might ever imagine. I know I’d have thought it and on some of the noted occasion I would more likely have exclaimed it quite a bit louder than I’d intend to. LOL
