Dr. Lishak, who taught Biology at AU, was into ant experiments. He talked about how ants do things by scent. An example is when an ant dies, it gives off a scent that tells the other ants to pick it up and throw it on the pile of dead ants. Supposedly, ants have a store room for dead ants. He said he liked to take a dead ant and rub it on a live ant....and watch all the others keep throwing this poor fellow on the pile, time and time again.
Lishak was a sick man. Best class I ever took.
I loved Lishak.
He introduced the class by telling us he knew none of us gave a shit about biology or science, so he was just going to teach us the basics and then also information that was applicable to our daily lives.
And he did.
Some of the things I learned in his class:
- You shouldn't use acne medication or other face scrubs because pimples are the body's natural means of expelling dirt from the body. The more you use, the more you'll have to use because the dirt in your pores will be sealed by the "cleansers." Also, you shouldn't pop a zit because that's how scarring occurs.
- Girls shouldn't wear thong underwear because the string will rub against the butthole and then feces particles will shake down to the crotch and expose the vagina to bacteria which can cause infection.
- Your stomach can eat itself. The digestive juices will eat the lining of your stomach if you go without food for too long though you will die of nutrient deprivation by the time this happens.
- That blood-type issue between mothers and babies where the two blood types will attack each other and treat the baby as an infection that has to be killed.
