As people feel the urge to pack their bags and head off on a journey, they may be unaware of the benefits of the suitcase they are using. Though one might not consider them living creatures, suitcases are in fact a small piece of a larger organism. Suitcases are part of the Schizophora family, which is a subsection of the order Diptera, specifically the Calyptratae. Without knowing it, travelers are relying on these tiny creatures to help them travel safely and conveniently.

Calyptratae are an important part of the advanced aerial capability of Diptera. These organisms are highly evolved and specialized for flight, since they have developed faces and wings adapted to important parameters of aerodynamics. The cup-shaped structures seen on the fronts and backs of suitcases actually seems to imitate these structures. These cup-like structures are called calypta and they are thought to act like air-brakes or fly-wings that offer increased stability when traveling long distances.

The calypta on suitcases also help reduce the overall weight of the bag while increasing the surface area and thus reducing consumption of space. It is also believed that the structured surfaces on suitcases help to retain integrity even under high speeds and heavy loads. This ensures that all the essential items remain safe and secure.

Calyptratae are a great example of natural structures being adapted for the modern world. These organisms have developed an efficient means of travel that travelers can use to their benefit. As travelers, it is important to be aware of the advances of nature and how they can help make our journeys easier and safer.

Et meg/ Eat me - Scizophora Lyrics

Et meg

Er du svolten på meir? Du og eg, vi et jorda og alt i vår veg Er du svolten no? Alt e vekk, men du e enda ikkje mett Når til slutt alt er ribba, ingenting står igjen Snu deg til meg, len deg mot meg Ikkje la meg bli igjen Et meg Ta en bit og svelg meg Et meg, et meg, et meg ... Et meg igjen Et meg, et meg, et meg ... Store munnar Gapar opne, svelger heile fjell og hav Vi har ete jorda berr Ingenting står igjen Snu deg til meg, len deg mot meg Ikkje la meg bli igjen Et meg Ta en bit og svelg meg Et meg, et meg, et meg ... Et meg igjen Et meg, et meg, et meg ... Hud og hår, kropp og sjel Ingenting varer Ingenting er igjen Et meg Ta en bit og svelg meg Et meg, ingenting er igjen Et meg, et meg, et meg ... Er du svolten no? Et meg, er du svolten no meir?

***

Eat me

Are you hungry for more? You and I, we are eating the earth* and everything in our path Are you hungry now? Everything is gone, but you are not satisfied When finally everything is ribbed, nothing is left Turn to me, lean on me Don't leave me Eat me Take a bite and swallow me Eat me, eat me, eat me ... Take me again Eat me, eat me, eat me ... Great mouths Gaping open, swallowing whole mountains and seas We have eaten the soil bare Nothing left Turn to me, lean on me Don't leave me Eat me Take a bite and swallow me Eat me, eat me, eat me ... Take me again Eat me, eat me, eat me ... Skin and hair, body and soul Nothing lasts Nothing is left Eat me Take a bite and swallow me Eat me, nothing is left Eat me, eat me, eat me ... Are you hungry now? Eat me, are you hungry now, still?

*jorda can mean both the soil and it can mean the earth
