I use this plastic gun for behavior modification. (I shoot the dog with it). It doesn't hurt him; don't call peta. It's so Pavlovian, now I point it and he snarls and does his predator imitation. We are so clever here.

I have a friend who is a professor at UT. We were discussing the art of final examinations last night and she told me that for one her tests she include an extra credit question which read, "My professor's name is ". It was multiple choice with different spellings. The majority of the students were incorrect.

Sometimes having a name that is spelled nothing like it sounds is not all it is cracked up to be.
