KTD's


when you are a teacher and you ask your students to write something, you never know what you are going to get. especially when you ask a class of freshman to write you scientific research papers.

let's take the following quote from a paper on odd animal behaviors featuring the chosen animal of giraffe.

"Dominance is important in giraffe relationships. Male giraffes do a lot of necking."

now the paper goes on to explain that in giraffe terms necking means swinging big giraffe necks at each other to win dominance as described in this video. but i just wish the child knew what she had written.
