Mimicking is indeed the best form of flattery

That’s what the saying goes like (or at least similar). Well let’s see who is flattering who here.

Man (and I mean mankind here for being slightly politically incorrect) inherently mimics! Period.

I got this epiphany a while back but have been on hiatus from writing for some odd reason or another. The moment was riding a subway in Barcelona, with a colleague (also an avid blogger at http://howmanyroads.blogspot.com/ ) and as the train snaked its way in these tunnels I couldn’t help but think I was riding inside a well lit centipede’s belly! (I had a late previous night at the bar and I guess remnants were still flowing through my veins)

Then during my ride-in-the-centipede’s-belly I began to think and came up with my list of Man-mimics or Manimics as I would now like to call them (that’s my 2 bits of creativity thank you)

Here goes that list:

Subway – Centipede
Sky scraper Window Cleaners –Spider / Scum sucker fish
Helicopter – Dragon fly
Morse code – Fireflies
Rock climbing – Praying Mantis
Society – Ants
Scuba - Fish
General Male Habits – Apes
General Female Habits - Cats

Maybe these animals know something we dont! But heck I guess we are just flattering a better species
