90% of all species....

died out at the end of the Permian Period. According to my professor this is because they didn't read the material before taking the quiz and just looked up the answers as they went. I am in big trouble....

On other matters, Anthony and I took time last night to make lists of all of the crazy and amazing things that we want to do in our lives. They are pretty long lists and in some instances expensive, but I would say everyone should have such a list. What do you REALLY want? Perhaps an electric piano of epic ability? a chance to study volcanoes in Hawaii? a masters degree in a field you might never actually work in? The possibilities are endless!
