Biology

I basically hit the quotation jackpot with this professor. She's amazing, and foreign so it makes it twice as great.

"APOPTOSIS!" - look it up. It's one of my favorite biology things.

"Boundary Bay is the whole reason for being in Bellingham."

"...state of flux..." - love it. It makes me think of Star Trek.

"Bilge pump" - sounds clean.

"An excellent way to cheat is to study." - Let's philosophically ponder that statement for a moment...

"It's a pain in the 3' end." - she likes this one and says it often. I find it incredibly nerdy.

"vignette" - One of my favorite words. She's the only person other than my high school English teachers that I've heard use this word.

"Syncytial, two 'y's. It's like your Polish grandmother's name. Lacking in bowels." - Too funny. Too true.

"Meiosis is like a square dance. All the couples go line up in the center of the barn and dance around...or whatever you do in a barn..."

"Mitosis is like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre..." - I will always think of that when I see a picture of mitosis.

"Binary" - another Star Trek word. Love it.

"The protein was all denatured and crapped up." - This is coming from the mouth of a woman with a PhD in Genetics.

"I just love making people feel self-conscious." - Mean.

"When I say semi conservative I'm not talking about how John McCain is kind of republican."

"I'm not gonna hold you responsible for quantum physics. Although, it's a weird and wonderful place." -I'm sure.

Random thoughts:

Can you recycle pens?

Wet dirt smells good.

RAS makes me think of The Rescuers.
