The wonderful world of dreams...

I dreamt all night trying to figure out the name of a specific condition. I -knew- I had studied it, and I vividly remembered watching two videos showing how you should and shouldn't handle it. Somewhere around 4am (still dreaming, and yes, I woke up enough to look at my watch and went straight back to dreaming) I realized I knew the initials of the condition.

E D

Yes, E D.

So...

Until 8am when my alarm went off, my dream fogged brain insisted that I was dreaming of erectile dysfunction. But with entirely different symptoms and the chance of being very serious...

The proper words I was searching for was "Excited Delirium"

*fail*

Spelling matters...

But so does knowing your vocabulary.

It is important to write ilium when you mean ilium and not write ileum, but when you use the example in class, it's best to use ilium and ileum not ischium and ischeum.

Though, Google searching ischeum kept me well amused in class. Evidently it's in Florida.

To all the math folk out there...

Question posed today in class (and no, it's not supposed to be a math class...yet)

You are hosting a party, with your significant other. You invite 20 couples (yes, it must be couples). Sometime during the party, you go around and ask each person how many people he/she has shaken hands with. The person cannot have shaken his/her SO's hand, or his/her own hand. Each person gives you a different number.

How many people did your SO shake hands with?

Why do you think your answer is right? I did end up with the right answer, however, my logic was flawed. And very very wrong.
