She could be onto something if the IRS allows her to take two deductions at tax time. Hell, maybe you could marry yourself say 10X and get a lot off your yearly tax bill.

I had a math prof in college who would show off by solving two problems simultaneously on the chalkboard.

Reminds me of when I was surveying for the US Forest Service in Mt. Baker National Forest in Washington. We were doing preliminary logging road plotting and had to put in a few of those hair pins on roads along steep terrain. Out there, vehicles going down the mountain had the right of way.

Ooops.

No mention of arbor vitae? I remember reading something about early French explorers making a tea from the "cedar" needles after seeing native tribes drinking it.
Hence the name "tree of life".

They chickened out by not doing Alaska and Hawaii--one monster sized and a bunch of little ones.

It's my throat that freezes. MrsO says her brain freezes and I tell her it's all in her head. Wait--it is!

Wonder if he's making a Baby Godzilla that blows smoke rings.

The Guv must have had a good head start. Bears can clock in at 35 mph. When working at a camp in the Adirondacks years ago, I chased one down a dirt road at that speed just to see how fast it was running.

Where's Major Kong?

In my 32 years of teaching high school biology, I saw the gamut of identical twins: two girls who just loved dressing alike and fooling their teachers by switching classes and another pair who would style their hair differently, never dress the same, and one wear glasses while the other wore contact lenses.

No mention of Fats Domino "The Fat Man" circa 1949 I believe.

I taught high school biology for 32 years. I scrambled questions and answers to my multiple choice tests,even easier to do when computers came along. My first few tests saw similar results for students eye-balling a nearby classmate. It did not take them long to realize that looking at someone's answers was pretty much useless. I could not do much about it with written homework. One time I actually got two homework papers from the same student name in two different styles of handwriting. It was obvious who was the cheater and the cheatee. I stapled the papers together and had them each share 1/2 of the grade.

It's the Ace of Spades !

"Doc" has some good inside observations. The same can be said for public education period. Many administrative and quasi-administrative jobs and departments created driving up the cost of operation. Little or no corresponding increase in actual teaching. The colleges are especially complicit with all the hiring of part time/temp "adjunct" professors they hire.
