IT's the only explanation I can think of to account for worms occupying the eggs they hold inside them...!
Why are female round worms larger than males?
-I think it’s because the females contain A’s, so they can be able to produce a lot (female gametes have XX)
-Females need capacity to occupy the eggs they produce.
-Female roundworms carry the babies.

When tests go wrong
20% of my students misinterpreted the essay question on "Taxonomy as destiny" and wrote pages of crap about "Taxonomy as DENSITY".
*Slaps forehead in dispair*
There is only so much you can help them (the essay counted 60% of the test mark allocation too...)

... and you're going to WHAT?
This question was posed to a first aid instructor by a medic student...
So, I've heard that water contains lots of dissolved oxygen. Can I give it to a person who a) isn't breathing and b) has no pulse?
Answer: NOOOOO! The person is technically dead!!!!!!!

If excel says so, it MUST be true...
The answer:
With density dependent growth models, an experimental population grows till it reaches a carrying capacity of 40 individuals at which time birth and death rates are the same.
What student found:
With density dependent growth models, an experimental population grows till the population size reaches 100000 individuals at which time 70000 die for no particular reason.
