Fifteen minutes past two in the afternoon, I sit in front of my laptop working on my Biology 12 plate: The Early Development of the Frog. The TV was on ANC, with its star: typhoon Frank.A reporter
goes on saying, "... relief efforts to bring purified water to those greatly affected by the storm.."Then I remembered how numerous the frogs were in the empty lots near our home, and how I
imagined them to be "clasping", as well as the flood water being a medium for external fertilization.[I know it's a little off, what with this storm causing so much tragedy, but my brain is just
too weird.]So then I go on thinking, what if someone accidentaly gets flood water with the eggs in their drink?Would the egg devolop?But I realized the egg covering is made up of proteins. And
proteins get turned into smaller polypeptides in the stomach by the pepsin. So yeah. The frog zygote/blastula/gastrula (depending on the stage) won't make it.***Four in the afternoon, butt on the
floor, air conditioning humming, the TV was on Channel 26. Yes, for Sky Cable subscribers in my area, that's Cinema One-- the Pinoy version of HBO. I don't remember what movie I was watching, but
it sure as hell made me laugh. Filipino slapstick comedy has often been a victim to much insult and stigma from.. ahem.. the so-called "elite". But today, one scene was so stupid, it made me laugh
all the way to the bathroom (TMI XD)[Scenario: High school English class. Graded recitation piece was the Gettysburg address.]Teacher: Your performance should be as convincing as thisVic Sotto +
Classmates: *snigger*Teacher: [with matching actions and facial expressions] Four score and seven years ago,[pause]Teacher: Our fathers brought forth on this continent[pause]Teacher: a new nation
[pause]Teacher: conceived in Liberty[pause]Teacher: and dedicated to [supposedly " the proposition that all men are created equal" should've come next. But Vic Sotto interrupts subtly]Vic Sotto: MY
LOVED ONETeacher: [still in a trance] My loved one.[Then the teacher goes on to smack Vic on the head.] Yes, I saw that coming. But strangely enough, it still made me burst out in guffaws.
