"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."
me: Instead of crests and troughs, compression waves have what we call compressions and rarefactions. Compression is a word you're familiar with, rarefaction is a weird one. Rarify is the root word, and the only place I've ever heard it is in a song by the Newsboys and a song by Frank Sinatra.

me: What?
LomL: Today was the day that Jesus conceived me!
me: Jesus conceived you?
LomL: It was the day he put me in my mom! He conceived me.

Today I had three students in chemistry class. The rest were at basketball... Two of said students were preparing to take a test. One was rooting through her purse, claiming to have lost her pencil. I grabbed an unsharpened one off of my desk and offered it to her,

her: Um...no thanks...
student 2 (behind me): I'll eat it!
Pencil-seeking student: It's a PENCIL.
student 2: oh.
me: You would eat food off of the floor in the cafeteria?!?!?
sudent 2: maybe?
