Koro: The fear that your penis will shrink into your body.

I learnt this from a Malaysian psychology student I met, it came under the category of 'cultural specific psychological disorders' and it was said to be specific to the Malay Archipelago this Wikipedia article says different though. In any case, I must say...what?

Has anyone heard of this before?

the phrase 'penis panics' made me laugh real loud in a silent library.. heh :)

Experiments in the Revival of Dead Organisms

the Mind and the Muse

I would really like to explain
the exhiliration of nothing but stop
the unseen colours hiding in sound
the gentle touch of a timid raindrop
the silent song of the silent stones
the longing dance of the night and the sun
the feelings that move my soul
the inconstant beats that my heart drums.

But how am I to explain all this-
the greatness, the majesty, the vast
to you who views endless space
through that misniscule looking-glass.
