The WYM/TB8/Adverbs Coincidence Thread

[SnicketFires]

I found the word "drosophila" in a timeline about Charles Darwin's life. Drosophila are another word for fruit flies, and it is a vocabulary word in TB8.

A couple of days ago, someone in my photography class was carrying a bottle of green Kool-Aid, which looked rather like absinthe.

My English teacher has been mentioning Othello's Iago a lot recently.

Also, yesterday I tried some flan cake.

My friend mentioned something about wanting to bash her boyfriend's head in with a croquet mallet. Made me smile.

A few days ago my social studies teacher said "hope springs eternal!" to us when talking about our learning. I will never forget when Flan said that to Douglas on the phone...

We've been studying Othello in my Literature class.

Also, a while ago I bought Feet of Clay, the Discworld book involving golems, but I haven't gotten around to reading it quite yet.

The other night I had a dream that my French teacher, teaching an English class, was using The Basic Eight as the first novel.

Edit: A clue in today's crossword: "robot of Jewish myth." The answer was "golem."

I saw a tombstone with Carr being the disceased's last name.

A while ago, my English class was discussing Satanism.

Also, the phrase "hope springs eternal" was found in one of Pope's epigrams.

Found these in Gorey's Amphigorey:

They mentioned Michelangelo's David in Angels and Demons. I wonder if there are more such coincidences....

[SnicketFires]

Every so often, my Socials teacher tests our knowledge by asking us really random questions out of a trivia book. One of them today was one about golems and Jewish mythology.

Also, a teacher at my school remarked that we were not serving absinthe in the coffee. A shame, really.

My school seems to be doing something similar to a Festivale Internationale.

My English teacher mentioned how another class of his is reading a Flannery O'Connor story. *sighs wistfully*

[Jacques the Environmentalist]

My class did read a story by Flannery O'Connor called "The Life you save May Be Your Own"
And at lunch someone said that the man who teaches biology II preyed on teenage girls. 100% Carr, at least the rumor is.

At school, we had to come up with a twelve-step program to get something done, rather like WYM.
