I remember once in way back land when I taught large (150+) classes of biology for non-biology students at Kent State University that I tried to bring up the major themes in biology and ecology and nature in general. Then I would use those as a unifying themes throughout the course. Pointing out whenever I could how this was one of those concepts again. One of those was balance, and how it seems that whenever something gets out of balance in one direction or the other, nature's integrated systems would tend to bring things back to some steady state or balance. It's amazing how that works both at the micro (biochemical) and macro (ecosystem) levels and everywhere in between.
I bring up this archetypal concept because I saw this really neat balancing act on Funny or Die today that I've never ever seen before:

About Me
- Mark Gorman
- I was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, in the valley made up by Bald Eagle Mountain to the south, and gentle hills and valleys to the north. That place that sheltered me, gave me food and friends, and both physical and spiritual nourishment for 18 years. That is the space where I was physically and emotionally formed. Ever since growing up there . . . because of growing up there . . . I have been inexorably linked to nature . . . to the earth and to all life.
