"The passionate pursuit of the nonessential and the extravagant is one of the chief traits of human uniqueness. Unlike other forms of life, man's greatest exertions are made in the pursuit not of necessities but of superfluities."

I have seen many an animal pursue the absurd. Critters get passionate lookin' when persuing the absurd. Humans love it too. nonessential and the extravagant = the absurd i reckon.

Exqueeze me. I must get back to chasing my tail, else it will have all the fun without me.

Comprenday Comprenday!
