What's the difference between the cool-sounding thingie and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What's the one where you get a swollen spot on your wrist and then someone has to smack your wrist hard with a bible to make it pop and it's got a name somehow related to that? That one always made me kinda laugh, until I had to smack a friend really hard with a book (not a Bible, though) because she had that and didn't want to pay for the doctor to do it.

That's a ganglion cyst.
eta: Wikipedia tells me it is sometimes called a Bible Bump, or Gideon's Disease.

I totally would have owned Birks if I could have when I was younger, but they've always been way too wide for my skinny feet.

The professor who offered to work with me on an independent study this summer is making me crazy. I told him I want to use it to do the paper part of my portfolio, which he agreed to. The portfolio paper is supposed to be 10 pages long. So I submit my proposal with the deliverable being a 10 page research paper and now he's telling me it's not enough to get the full credit for the ind. study. I did an ind. study last summer with another professor and the deliverable was a 4-5 page article that I published. I think I picked the wrong professor this year. :( :( :(

I just emailed him to find out and explained the above to him. I'm really really really hopeful he changes his mind and 10 is enough. I wish I could just back out and find someone else but it's too late for that.

In my department there are rules about how many pages (and how many revisions) are required for a semester of independent study. If the rule is, say, 20 pages, and the appropriate target project would be 10 pages, we just have the student do the other pages as a commentary on some related issue or a thought paper that is not quite at the core of their 10 page product. Perhaps something like that would work.
