there's this really short, dorky blond girl who just oozes of weirdness in my biology b class... she sits in the front of the class and asks these really OBVIOUS questions or says stuff that really doesn't matter... her voice is like the dorky girls that snl's rachael dratsch sometimes plays. i wonder if anybody's clued her in that she's really quite weird... then again, it took me a while in jr high-high school for me to be clued in that i was acting like an idiotic dork, and then took me quite a bit to shake that image, and i'm still in the process...

today's bio b discussion cracked me up... the teacher was trying to show why evolution occurs w/o blending of genes(ie white gene+black gene = grey gene, instead of white gene+black gene = grey(one black, one white, not mixed together)), and he was showing that when we do have this blending of genes(white gene+black gene = gene), that in a few generations, the black gene would no longer be there, and you'd never see it(assuming darker color is favored, and that the population starts with all white rabbits, and one grey rabbit, which has one white and one black gene)... so he was asking us if there was any other way for the grey rabbit to keep surviving, and one female student asked,
"maybe if the rabbit mates with itself?"
instructor: well, that's a good thought, but you'd assume that where natural selection says that the mating is random, and the chances of mating with its own kind...
*silence; girl friend next to student starts cracking up*
instructor: haha... well... seems like you two are good friends eh?
*now you hear a few laughs here and there in the room as ppl start getting it, but now i'm just chuckling too loud and long*
instructor: in later chapters we'll cover asexual reproduction, but for now...

reminds me of family guy where peter griffin's having a conversation with michael eisner and bill gates, all three are outside laying on the grass at night, looking at the stars:
bill: wow... look at the stars... if God created all this, who created God?
michael: maybe he created himself
peter: or HERself
bill+michael: AAAAAAHHH
peter: think about that
