I bet you, as the reader, never guessed that taking an advanced biology class pays off in anything other than school and your career choices. Not that those aren't good things already, but yes, it does! I was reading a Sherlock Holmes story the other night (The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes), and it was talking about how a character was murdered. Watson looked up a medical report in the newspaper, which said "that the posterior third of the left parietal bone and the left half of the occipital bone were shattered by a heavy blow from a blunt weapon." Even before Watson explained that those bones were on the back of the head, I already knew. It was my *sniff* proudest educational moment.
And that's not all. I also helped my mother with a cossword puzzle clue that asked for a muscle near the humerus. It was the bicep.
