30 Day Meme: Day 5, Favorite Quote
I don't have a favorite quote, there are way too many I have written down to chose just one. But one that I quite like a lot, and actually pertains a lot to me, is a silly quote that my zoology professor said.
"so i'm out there, on a thursday night, in the middle of the woods with a knife, just covered from head to toe in blood and gore. This is it guys, this is what biologists do on thursday nights, get ready"
At home there's a place called Safari West, it's about 20 minutes from my house. It's an animal preserve that has animals from all over Africa. Whenever one of their animals die, Nick, the zoology professor, gets the carcass. So he's got a stellar collection of african animals. Well at one point, one of their ostriches died, and Nick went out that evening to pick it up. They helped him load it into his truck, but that was it. Now, ostriches are BIG, and there's no way you're going to deal with a full gown dead one by yourself. Next door to Safari West is the Pepperwood preserve, a HUUUGE expanse of land that's being used for all kinda of research and whatnot, so it's mainly just one main lab building, and then hundreds of acres of untouched land. So Nick goes over there, it's night time by now, and asks if he can go in to butcher this ostrich carcass, they know him so they say yeah. And, thus the context of the quote :P
If you know me, you'll know exactly why this quote is relevant to my life (oh that deer carcass at 3am one Friday night :D )
On a side note, here's another great quote of his that is ALSO extremely relevant to my life
"I was in bed one night just staring off into space, and my wife asks 'science, sex, or carpentry' since those are the only things i think about...so 1/3 of the time i'm thinking about intermediate fillaments and another 3rd of the time i'm thinking about screwing them"
