Number 1!

Hello, blogfriends!

I have been meaning to start a new blog for some time.  Today is the day.  I am back in school, and my professors are providing me a wealth of hilarity to share.  Please note, my quotes are revised for clarity (?) but the wrongness will be quoted as it was misspoken. 

Today's wrecks:

"Please refer to the figure regarding food chains in your books.  The aquatic web is to the left, the torrential one is to the right."  [terrestrial]
















"We call them Escheraries."  [estuaries]


"...inhabiting the borer forest..."  [boreal]
(Perhaps because of the large number of borer beetles that live there?)


"Numbers that are way off are called outliners." [outliers]


And a leftover from yesterday from a discussion about security, and the need to have multiple layers of security, referred to as the multi-barrier approach:

"We need to use a multi-barrel approach..."
(That totally works, actually.)
