There's still hope for a Nobel Prize winner among the science students whose comments follow. After all, Einstein was a poor math student and couldn't read till he was 8.
``Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin.''
``Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillars.''
``The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects.''
``A permanent set of teeth consists of eight canines, eight cuspids, two molars and eight cuspidors.''
``Equator: a menagerie lion running around the Earth through Africa.''
``Magnet: something you find crawling all over a dead cat.''
``Vacuum: a large, empty space where the pope lives.''
``To remove dust from the eye, pull the eye down over the nose.''
``To keep milk from turning sour, keep it in the cow.''
``To collect fumes of sulphur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test tube.''
``When you breathe, you inspire. When you don't, you expire.''
`` ... the abdominable cavity contains the bowels, of which there are five - a, e, i, o and u.''
Just remember, it's all relative.
