It's no secret that I am immature and have a dirty mind. Sometimes this becomes more apparent because I'll find humor in the strangest places. Take yesterday for example, I was reading a journal article about the biogeography of spring snails in western North America and came across the following sentence:
"Taylor (1987) erected the subgenus Paupertryonia for five species from the Rio Grande–Pecos River basin which lack basal papillae on the penis." - Hershler et al. 1999.
I can't be the only one who finds their choice of wording humorous. They had to have used it intentionally, right?
oh come on. you know that all scientists do stuff like that for fun.
ReplyDeletethat was just blatant humor, though. crazy scientists.
Yeah...definitely on purpose...
ReplyDeleteNice to see a scientist cut loose now and then.
ReplyDeleteYou still get the thrust of it, without using such rigid language.
