Is Teppy around?? There's been a wee discussion of names in the reality tv thread and it reminded me that I wanted to share a name of a student....
Batman.
Yep. 8th grader named Batman. Seriously, how cool would it be to have this conversation:
Random person: What's your name?
B: I'm Batman.
It might work against bullies: "Don't hurt me! If you do, I'll go get my friend Batman!"
Hee. That makes me think of Abed dressed as Batman on Community.
I'm sad for them, but this made me laugh.
Jeanne-Claude met her husband, Christo Javacheff, in Paris in 1958. At the time, Christo, a Bulgarian refugee, was already wrapping small objects.
Aww, I remember well when they wrapped the islands in Miami in pink. It was much fun.
As in, entire class in which the lecturer tried to apologies behalf of quantitative-method sociology whenever he feels it's not "scientific" enough.
OK, that's ridiculous. Sociology has spent years refuting positivism - it's great in its own field, but you can't 'measure' societies in that way. What exactly was the lecturer aiming for there? (I wrote a paper last semester about sociology of scientific knowledge, flawed concepts of objectivity, and the implications for my field. This is much more interesting stuff than whether statistics are somehow 'scientific' enough.)

First name or surname? Interesting...
