Potential T-shirt sayings?
My Human Records and Society class is not really discussion-oriented -- the professor pretty much talks for the whole three hours and we furiously write down everything he says. Or at least I do. I have no idea if most of it is important, but I've never been good at just sitting and listening. In addition to recording all of the stuff that seems useful, I use the margins of my notebook to write down the random crap he says. A sampling:
- No one has ever domesticated a zebra.
- The people who use cell phones are irredeemably literate.
- We don't see walls as mostly space.
- Who moved my caterpillar?
- Language is spooky.
- Societies without furniture probably don't have a word for "chair."
- His name is Patrick but we call him Guido. (I think that was about his grandson.)
- You don't come out of Spartan school an interior decorator.
- It's ridiculous to talk about a Mormon Hopi.
- Just because you know something doesn't mean you can do anything.
- If you roast a metal it will gain weight.
- If something happens to your yams, it's never an accident.
- Tycho Brahe (the astronomer) had a gold and silver strap-on nose.
