But if he's been in Ontario for too long, he might be saying 'Eh' or whatever those Ontario people do when they talk to each other. According to Snieckus’ letter, he’s not Canadian, but Estonian.

Perhaps that way, we can stop scaring students away from science. I have not read Snieckus so far, but intend to now ! Richard Dawkins is MY personal favourite, who makes science look like a lot of fun, which it rightly is.

As the weather warms around here, the buckets of previously frozen swine manure behind my building may start to attract attention.
