Trey Parker is My Teacher

Today in forensics, we talked about Alferd Packer, and there's only one reason I know who that is and why we'd be discussing him in forensics.

Of course, my previous anthropology courses are why I knew a forensic anthropologist would study Packer's companions to look for cut marks on skeletal remains...and when I mentioned cut marks, I got a lot of blank looks from my discussion group. There aren't any prerequisites to the course, and I think anyone who hasn't already had some study of biological anthropology will have a hard time following some of the material.

Post-cranial remains, for example, are basically the remains sans the skull. It's a term you hear a lot in these courses, and several people didn't know what it meant. And if you're an art or business major, why would you?

Anyway, good day in classes today...knew all my Latin questions in class, good discussions in the others. I feel so smert. Give it a couple weeks, though...
