(While watching a news article about biomimicry in robotics, regarding a pincer fashioned after a fish fin, designed for flexibility:) "When the machines rise up, at least they'll squeeze your head gently before separating it from your body."

From facebook, first day of classes:
I
was about to take attendance when a student in the front row writes
their name on a piece of paper, folds it and puts it in front of them. Me: "Oh, a name plate. I feel like I'm at the UN, but with less chemical weapons." Student: "So far." Me: "I think I was just threatened."
