One of my favorite Flaming Lips songs is "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots", but today I learned that I had one of the lyrics wrong:
Oh, Yoshimi, they don't believe me But you won't let those robots defeat me Yoshimi, they don't believe me But you won't let those robots eat me, Yoshimi
I always thought this was "But you won't let those robots beat me, Yoshimi".
And now I have some questions about why a robot would be eating a person. Why does a robot even have a mouth? The song establishes that these are evil robots, which Yoshimi will destroy, but were they made with evil intent in mind? Was there some engineering reason that they're even capable of devouring human flesh?
It's changing everything that I thought I knew about the pink robots.

Ts'unu'um
Hummingbird in Maya Culture
The hummingbird, known as ts'unu'um in Maya, holds a special place in Maya culture. It is not only a symbol of beauty and agility but also a messenger between the living and the dead. According to mythology, hummingbirds carried thoughts and desires, flying from flower to flower and heart to heart, carrying messages of love and hope. Their ability to fly in all directions, even backward, symbolized the connection between the past and the present, a constant reminder of the importance of roots and personal history. The hummingbird's legend has transcended its mere physical appearance, becoming a bridge between ancient Mayan mysticism and contemporary fashion. (www.aatikmexico.org/)
