Jordan saves knowledge. or How jordan fixed the internet!
So, i saved the world of science today.
in my eco/evo class we had a debt about what came first lungs or gills. the student doing a presentation for the class (this happens every day) say it was lungs, i raised my hand and corrected him. He countered with internet knowledge power! he pulled up a web site run by the guy who's book we are readying (cool guy* (cool book **)). and boom its says lungs before gills....
prof and i argue that can't be right.
next day, they correct the web site. all because my prof knows some one who knows some one.... this is how science works.
