Pikaia

Pikaia is a worm-like marine creature from the Burgess Shale. It has a notochord, so it was placed in our very own phylum Chordada(sic). Since pikaia is the earliest known chordate, it could our hallowed ancestor. Thus I present this entry as a form of ancestor worship. Let us get down on our knees and pray to our Great Grandmother Pikaia.






It's really hard to get upset over a crack in my windshield when it's as beautiful as this one.





Eva Walsko, my great grandmother. My attempts to start a cult based on her worship have been poorly received.
