Caleb: Cake is for talkers.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE HEAD NUBS ON A GIRAFFE?

THE ANCESTORS OF GIRAFFES LIKELY HAD ANTLERS FOR COMBAT PURPOSES, LIKE DEERS AND MOOSES. AS THEY GOT COMICALLY TALL, THE WEIGHT OF ANTLERS GOT TOO HEAVY FOR THEIR HILARIOUS NECKS, AND ANTLER FIGHTING BECAME OBSOLETE AND RIDICULOUS, SO THEY EVOLVED PAST ANTLERS. THE NUBS, OR “OSSICONES,” ARE VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES IN THE GIRAFFE’S SKULL. THEY’RE LEFTOVER SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR THE ANTLERS GIRAFFES USED TO HAVE BEFORE THEY BECAME THE BIOLOGICAL JOKE WE KNOW AND LOVE TODAY.

THE PLURAL OF MOOSE IS NOT MOOSES.

factsinallcaps

“MOOSES” IS ONE OF MULTIPLE ACCEPTED PLURALS OF THE ANGLICIZED VERSION OF THE ALGONQUIN WORD “MOOSE.” IF WE WERE SPEAKING ALGONQUIN, THE PLURAL WOULD BE “MOSINEE,” BUT WHEN SPEAKING ENGLISH, EITHER “MOOSE” OR “MOOSES” WILL BE ACCEPTABLE AS PLURALS.

“MEESE,” FOR EXAMPLE, IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE PLURAL FOR “MOOSE” BECAUSE IT’S NOT DERIVED FROM THE SAME LANGUAGE FAMILY AS THE WORD “GEESE.”

THIS IS THE SAME REASON WHY THE PLURAL OF “OCTOPUS” IS “OCTOPUSES” IN ENGLISH AND “OCTOPODES” IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK, AND “OCTOPI” NOWHERE BECAUSE OCTOPUS IS NOT A WORD IN LATIN.

ALSO, THE STICKING POINT FOR YOU WAS “MOOSES” BUT YOU HAD NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT “DEERS?”

Tell me, my dear: can a heart still break once it’s stopped beating?

It's the new schoolmaster.

What is his name?

Ichabod, Ichabod Crane.

Bing Crosby as Ichabod Crane in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)

The Addams Family renting out rooms in their huge mansion cheaply to broke college students.

The students digging it because the craziness and the bugs are pretty much the same as any other dorm house. Also, Morticia and Gomez treat them all like visiting cousins, not like tenants to abuse and exploit.

guilty-as-battery-charged-deact

One of the tenants is a creative writing major and Gomez and Morticia house them up in the tower because of the quiet and the inspiring view

They’re supposed to be working on a typical coming-of-age story but after living with the Addams for just a week the project is becoming a horror-Gothic-romance

They go to their room after classes one day and find Thing correcting the grammar errors in the manuscript with a red pen

and yeah, the students pay roughly market value for their rooms, but that doesn’t stop gomez from shouting “capital idea!” and handing them wads of cash when they tell him about their weekend plans or what they’re researching, so they basically end up living there for free

In the same vein, half the them have to turn into exceptional fencers, because Gomez just doesn’t give a shit, and if he sees you in the library, its fucking Sword Fighting Time.

Fester and Pugsley find out one of the college students is trying to get into chemistry and woo boy, there has never been a faster study of how to counter various acidic chemical reactions due to “water” balloons in campus history.

Morticia and Grammy are keeping the horticulturalists on their toes with their Black Tulip/Rose hybrids, which can flick their barbs a foot away from their stem system. But it’s fine, one of the kids has managed to breed Aloe with the anti venom.

Lurch makes sandwiches for everyone who’s too much of a coward for Grammy’s cooking. Any music major will find him looming over them, utterly stone faced as they practise until they finish, when he’ll smile, and slowly applaud.

And the spookiest thing of all

Wednesday and Thing will find your thesis. They will critique it in every way imaginable.

There is no escape.

I especially love the idea of Gomez spotting a student in the library, throwing a sword at a startled student, shouting, “En garde!” and lunging at him/her with a sword of his own.

Student (later in life), when asked how she jumps from quietly doing research to handling a sudden influx of ER cases so quickly and easily, says, “When you have to snap out of deep concentration on biochem to fight for your life then get back to biochem without losing your train of thought…you learn or you die.”
