Yup, one of my 'nomenclatorial innovations' is to fondly refer to my friends
the butterflies as 'bugs' or even 'bugzz'. Of course I have discovered that
this freaks out those few taxonomists who are humor-impaired :-) Mission
impossible for the poets among us -- a limerick dealing with bugzz and
nomenclature :-)

Ron is really dreaming.  Immortality on a pin assumes that you will be 
properly curated.  There's a good chance that won't happen, so Ron on 
the Pin it's only an illusion of immortality----which is probably all we 
achieve with our scientific papers and nomenclatorial innovations.
