DaDaism

NOTE: (and i know this will irritate *some* people) -- rather than have something

                  -[]- (theatre entries)  Thomas Beckett
                        music entries....  John Cage, P.D.Q. Bach (Peter Shickley, etc)...
      EVERYTHING IS DADA !!! - it's right here, blokes.
                                                        We appologise for the in-convenience 
             of "your one" best source of high-quality
                                                        decimal points!

Note: I make a *slight* distinction:  "daDa" (etc) was a movement in Zurich which
                                                   then moved to Koeln and Paris.
                                       dadaism - is a state of mind (or mime of a duck!)

Dadaism

Dadaism is the collective "ism" given to a movement that ostensibly
began after World War I (or shortly there at, time-wise). In Zurich,
Switzeland, Terra (see map) with the end of "the great war" - the
"war to end all wars", the "first modern war", etc - came a very 
dismal feeling that things weren't all that keen. Sort of like
when Snow White eats the apple and you don't know if things are
going to turn out all right or not.
