Regarding baby elephants...

Mar 23, 2008 22:28

So, the reason I'm looking for a name for a baby elephant.

See, I have this thesis that I'm beginning to toil away at. The other day (yes, the way I infamously usually mean 'the other day' to mean a time of variable distance in my past) I was chatting with someone about my thesis. He asked how long it takes. His response when I replied two years was "wow - that's a long gestation period." This was followed by a brief pause by both of us, and then simultaneous proclamation "just like a baby elephant!"

So, lame though it may be, I'm looking for a good name for a baby elephant. My thesis topic has already changed names a few times... and I'm only in the preliminary pre-proposal stage. It's going to be a subject of upheaval... and one that is referred to much too often to simply be called 'the thesis' [cue music here]. Before it becomes 'that which shall not be named'.

I'm dangerously close to referring to it as Dumbo from now until completion...
