Trash Pony Science: On the Edge of Science - Astrology and our Relationship to the Cosmos

Trash Pony Science + the Underlying Order of Things presents: 

On the Edge of Science 

Astrology and our Relationship to the Cosmos

A presentation by Cathy Towle

Our fascination with the heavenly bodies goes back to the beginning of time when ancient man noticed the correlations between the movements of the stars and events on earth. Closely related to Astronomy, and considered one in the same, in the 17th Century Astronomy and Astrology split apart. Why did Astrology become associated with idea of superstition and divination, while Astronomy became science? What was it about the human mind that sought reason over divine guidance? How is our own cosmology evolving as we explore the dichotomy of increasing technology in our lives and an inner longing to connect to divinity and create community.

Get It Out: Trash Pony Comedy - Now required by Doctors.

Someone once said: "laughter is the key to life" and now scientist have actually proven it. Resent research done by Dr. I. M. Funny shows that one must do more than eat healthy and exercise to live a long life. Dr. Funny tested people to see if laughter was actually keeping them alive by measuring their heart rates and telling them jokes. Turns out that humans require at least a minimum of four hours a week of solid laughs and chuckles to remain functional. This is way less than what needed to sustain the existence of the four legged creature, the Hyena. The Hyena has to use 90% of its' day to laugh. Laughing has something to do with regulating the build up of air within the human body. Laughing causes air to be release from deep parts of your diaphragm that just can't be done through normal breathing, talking, athletic workouts, or even singing. But what's the big deal about getting this air out of deep parts of your body? Well, Dr. Funny explains: "not releasing the air with a good belly laugh can be very dangerous. If you don't release this air your body will be force to use all it's energy to try and suppress the growing pressure. That means that you will begin to feel very tired all the time and not be able to function. If this pressure is never release than the energy will build up and you will explode."  That's right if we don't expel the air within through laughing them we all would explode. Some ironic cruelty left over from evolutions Dr. Funny assumes.

Dr. I. M. Funny suggest that you attend the Get It Out: Trash Pony Comedy on April 13, 2011 to help with the regulation of air in your body. He says to make sure that you laugh hardly at the people providing jokes for your, literal, well being.  It may save your life.

Shelly uses a type of screen printing to illustrate the beauty of the human-like ape. With splashes of color and the process of layering she recreates her emotional involvement with the Bonobos.

Joining us on Friday: The Stan Mitchell Trio

The boys are back...

‘Stanley John Mitchell and His Band of Buddies’ plays mostly original music drawn from the Roots Americana style they love so much. Stan feels though, that they give the music a contemporary twist that makes it all their own.

The band is unusual in that Stan works it like a one-man-band with friends. While he has a bass player and guitarist as bandmates, Stan himself plays guitar, sings and plays percussion/drums all at the same time.
