i was just browsing randomnormalentry and came upon this, really quite amazing, i think that it deserves recognition and with some editing would be great(especially the title as pointed out in a conversation)

Wow, and they said my Python entry was technical....which is not to say this is not a good entry. Personally, I like substantial entries, and I enjoyed reading this one. I'm not on first-name terms with all the jargon, but the author made good use of footnotes to provide me with definitions -- a technique which seems obvious now, and I will try to remember to use it the next time I'm writing a technical computer science entry. It seems very well researched, though I say that with some reservation, not having immediate access to any of the sources.

The title worked fine in my browser, even with the window shrunk down to 640x480. It also looks fine in a text-mode browser.

I would add two things to this entry, if I could: diagrams and (for lack of a better term) hoopiness. I have a mental image of circular and radial muscles enveloped by tunics of collagen fibers, but I've no idea if that picture is close to the reality. On top of that, this entry has some serious gravitas, and could use a little anti-gravitas to lighten it up.

i agree it needs to be toned down a bit, but the reson for putting it here was because it has some amazing raw material! i pro'lly run some phrases through a search just to check up on it, but overall i feel it is awesome

Tell us when it's done

I did it. And Google found a source for all the phrased that I checked...



... on h2g2!

Ooops, sorry for being late! The Editors have accepted my recommendation and this entry is now on its way into the Edited Guide!
