What I'm Learning At Luther #14

[Note: Someone posted a link to a Herold Pinter lecture under my "Media" post. I do intend to draft a response to that soon, it's just an exhausting article--like his plays. ;) ]

Anyway, what I'm Learning at Luther:

A question of anthropology:

It is said that Eskimos have many names for snow--I've heard maybe even hundreds. I can't begrudge them that. Snow's a huge part of their life.

Luther students too should have many names for snow, blizzards, negative 20 weather and so on, but what's the real figure that affects all students at Luther--year round?

Squirrels. We need more names for squirrels.

I'm open to suggestions. :)

a fan of the proper LOLcat spelling: skwerl. I believe that all major dictionaries ought to respell squirrel thus, if for no other reason than to distinguish between the noun (skwerl) and the verb (which would remain squirrel).

tl;dr SKWERL
