"Basically it just doesn't make any sense," Dr. Zink said. "But that's the fun thing about biology."

Now, that's what I love about learning. I'm embracing this quote for the rest of the school year (and during extra-curricular hours, too).

(Full disclosure, it was even in an article about birds--and you know they steal my heart, mudnesting or no. [The rest of the science blurbs therein are also pretty interesting. Science Tuesday!])

HAW! I am vindicated! I had a conversation with my dad once about basic biology classes. I told him that they pretty much tell you that things happen but in order to explain them they would have to teach you the equivalent of organic chemistry so it's like "Food enters the body and then a miracle occurs and the body is nourished." He hemmed and hawed but refused to agree with me.
Water. Heat. Volcanic Activity. Life on Earth.
Righty-O Cap'n.
