Joe Pitkin
“Human material culture - the buildings and roads and works that would strike any human as an obvious sign of intelligence - had for years seemed like part of an elaborate mating ritual to the starlings, useless and flamboyant as the peacock's tail.”
Joe Pitkin, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Volume 132, Issue 6, June 2012

“[A] pile driver was improvised by mounting a large steam donkey engine, a steam hammer, and a timber tower on a barge.”
Ray Bottenberg
