        It took this post and recent bio classes to realize that this line refers to the hydrophilic nature of water molecules, so the reason it is a question if he gets wet underwater, is because a water molecule can’t get wet, as it’s water, and even if he isn’t a water molecule, they’re attracted to all particles including other water molecules, so the water would definitely get him.

    I would also like entomologists to pronounce the insect orders properly. That ‘p’? It belongs to the ‘-ter’. It’s ‘pter’, for wing. As in ‘coleo-ptera’, the ‘shield wing’, not ‘col-e-OP-tera’. Or ‘neuro-ptera’, the ‘lace-wing’, not ‘neur-OP-tera’.

    We actually put the accent on a syllable THAT DOESN’T FUCKING EXIST in the Greek.

    Fucking nonsense.
