Ok folks!
Anthro was infinately amusing today...
Mr. Peterson threw his little half-podium at Seth today and I thought the poor kid had gone into shock... (He didn't hit him)
Then we learned that the Maya men cut the skin of their penises into four pieces and then peeled it back to resemble a squash flower, which they worshipped, and let it heal like that. Mr. Peterson drew us a diagram. The boys were all cringing and crossing their legs and groaning in unison...I laughed and laughed and laughed.
The Maya also believed that during the time when women had their periods they had enough magic in them that the could kill a man just by looking at him...This is not a wholly unfounded notion...
And to round it all off, in physics Mr. Welch asked how many hertz were in a gigahertz, and Nick said "A lot of hertz." Which is true, but not exactly what Mr. W was going for...
