Things We Established Today:

1) I have very "round" hair
2) birds have lymphoid tissues and bone marrow
3) people develop allergies to urushiol, which is present in both mango and poison oak (how did I miss that family connection I have no idea), and is enriched in the skin and the area near the pith near the mangoes and so people who want to avoid becoming allergic to mangoes should avoid the slice-and-eat method and peel the entire thing ...and possibly handle it with gloves while peeling. (But then not everyone reacts to allergens the same way and I think Linda'd be fine...?)
4) mathematicians are aliens
5) the undergrads apparently thing I'm qualified to give advice on public speaking. This is in fact the weirdest thing to me, in this entire list.
