So, I'm sitting through a classmate's presentation, when he gets to the big finnish and says, "And walla!" Nobody's sure if he's making a joke or if we should laugh or not, this being the instant right before his amazing finnish. He clicks to the next slide where in big bold all caps it says, "WALLA!". He could tell that we didn't get it and so he says, "You know, Walla! Walla! Here it is!". We're still confused so he turns to the French kid here on exchange for a semester and says, "Explain Walla to them."

Anyway, I took a picture of a knight yesterday. A real knight, but not a real knight. I mean he didn't have any armour or a sword or anything, but everyone prefaced his name with Sir, and apparently the Queen had knighted him. He won the Nobel prize for work in genetics. I think he made a half rhino, half elephant. It's called an elefino. When the new Gauntlet comes out, I'll post a link to the photo. Although it's not that great on account of the lack of swords and armour.
