Osler's Razor

I love haiku Friday-- perhaps more than my readers do. To keep things fresh, I am joining forces with ace Business Prof, prolific author, and published poet Blaine McCormick for the next several weeks.

Dr. McCormick recently discovered a fascinating part of Baylor University's Mayborn Museum. They apparently keep an amazing number of bizarre antiquities in a series of cabinets and drawers-- old-fashioned "cabinets of curiosity." Each week, we will feature a photo of one of these oddities, and then invite haiku on the subject (first offering our own).

As an example, we see in the photo above a monkey holding dynamite. Why does the monkey have dynamite? In what imaginable situation would it makes sense to give a monkey some dynamite? Whose idea was it to put said monkey in a museum frequented by children? We, frankly, have no idea. Thus, we will haiku our speculations.

Here is Dr. McCormick's:

Me now Big Monkey
for find better way to go
banana harvest

And mine:

Insurrectionist:
Cold-hearted zoo-bombing chimp-
It's Scurrilous George!

Please offer your own, or any opinions about this idea. Also, kudos to the Mayborn Museum for keeping these things available for this important academic use by veteran professors.
