As Baco pointed out, we made some sort of pact (I think it might have involved blood, did it involve blood? Because it should have) to update once a day for a month. ...Which I guess is 30 days. I'm hoping that it'll, I dunno, -- actually, I don't know why. Maybe that's what I'll learn by the end. I know I had some reason, something about improving

Your professor is like the Crocodile Hunter of parasites. Does he wrestle them? He should.

PS Your icon is the best icon.

I was about to call him the Parasite Hunter, but then wasn't sure if I'd get stoned for it.

I don't know if he wrestles them per se, but he did mention today that all good parasitologists study their own feces at some point. Whether this is out of curiosity or paranoia, he didn't say.

PS :D :D :D I heart Rocky so much.

[thebaconfat]

Man. Well. That's.

Yes. Feces.

(ROFL)

w00t for updating every day! I should maybe do that too, keep everyone abreast of my boring life in which nothing of note goes on. I hear that writing a little bit every day will help someone whose not all that good at writing, in general, (ie me) improve.

also: huh. your lab sounds like it will be kinda boring (unless you're really into parasites, i dunno you might be). I have a lab this semester, intro psych 2, where we get to train a rat. I named mine Wormtail even though it was a female. Though on her experiment's sheets they only have space for 6 characters so her name looks like WORMTA. I should just start calling her that instead.

Dooooo it! I don't know, I have this problem where I never think my thoughts are interesting enough to post, so I just... don't. Anyway, maybe if we all posted once a day, it'd keep us going longer.

This is actually the best lab I've taken at university so far. The labs are small, so we get a lot of time in which we have things explained to us and we get to look at slides of various blood smears and fecal smears and liver tissue and stuff. I guess grossness has its own appeal, or something.

But dude! Your lab sounds awesome. I was going to suggest that you name her "Wormtailette," but I think WORMTA is much better. *LOLOL* I want updates of your Rat Training Adventures!

Because: Cows. Is a good reason for most things.

Damn... now I feel like I should actually update or something...

The odder the professor, the better they are, it's like a rule or something.

The thought of 'Absolutely gorgeous' parasites makes me imagine people with parasite envy... "Tch. Ringworm is soooo last year." (Er, do fungi count as parasites? I don't remember...); which makes me think I may have heard of people seeking tapeworm as a weightloss method... I really hope that was comedy or spoof news or something because: eeew...

I need a 'Science!' icon...

[squeemu]

I think there should be a shirt with that slogan. "Because: Cows." And maybe the back could show a cow's rear end, or front end, or, I don't know, something else. Possibly something completely unrelated to cows.

Ha! We've totally started something! It makes me freakishly happy, how many people have updated their LJ today.

It's so true. The best ones are insane, although apparently there's a fine line between "good insane" and just plain "crazy insane." One of my cousin's English professors always came to class with his tie tucked into his pants. One day, when both his hands were full, it came untucked and he felt it was such a transgression of politeness that he asked a student to come up and tuck it back in, since it would have been much worse to let it go another second.

Ahaha! "OMG, like, where did you get that hookworm? I've been just dying to get an authentic one." (I-I'm not sure. I'll let you know if we ever talk about it in class, though! I don't see why it couldn't be, though.) HOLY CRAP, worst weight loss method ever.

[wolfenkahlon]

HOLY CRAP, worst weight loss method ever. Except maybe the one in which you take pills that cause extreme diarrhea; I just don't get that one.

And now I'm reminded of the emergency, 'only use it if you're trapped in the middle of nowhere on a desert island' cure for tapeworm, which I won't unleash upon people without request... or while they are eating dinner.

On the one hand 'yay! Lame humour!' on the other 'Aaargh! Chemistry!' I have icons that aren't Blood+ related! Like... er, the one I have used for this comment! And... uh... okay... so that's it... in other words: I can has icon please?

[squeemu]

You can't mention some horribly gross thing and then not tell! Now I'm curious. Unleash the horror!

Here is the icon! It is totally A-OK to not take it, since, uh, lame chemistry joke, I am vaguely embarrassed for having made it, etc., but yes! It is totally A-OK if you take it, too!
