Is "Artistic Creativity" redundant?
At first, it might seem to be, but not really. Artistic means "done skillfully, or, aesthetically satisfying." Creativity, on the other hand, simply implies the power to create; inventive. One could create something that would not fit the connotation of "Artistic." In the same way, a musician could play a piece beautifully and yet the musician did not create the piece.

"If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons"?
Hmmmmm. One would think. Except, on closer inspection, one finds that morality indicates the number of mores per Capita. Morons are unstable physical particles that have strange quarks.

"Eric; Why is the term piggy-backing used when you never see one pig on another's back"?
Good Question. The term "Piggy Back" is an alteration. Etymologists state that it either came from "Pick Back," or "Pick Pack."
Pick is a variant of Pitch, meaning to throw. Back is one's back, and Pack is the item that is being carried on the back. Either way, it means to "throw something on the back," or "throw something in the pack on the back." Funny how words change meanings. It's like "dialing" your phone number even when you are punching buttons instead of dialing.
