What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

"why my favorite professor was a chronic liar"
Interesting story of a professor who would introduce one false statement into each of his lectures to see if the students would catch it. Of course, the students began actually paying attention to the lectures. Fantastic idea.
