THE VIOLIN:

Ryan Mills' thoughts on violins:

Do you have a Stradivarius? No. Oh. So does it even have those S-shaped holes?
--Those are F-holes, Mills.
Really? They look like "S"s to me. Doesn't S stand for Stradivarius? You know, his name used to be Tadivarius. He changed it to Stradivarius because of the holes. The S-holes.

Why I love biology:

There are just so many questions to ask!
"How exactly did they hold the toads' mouths shut?"
"Why did they take them out on a battleship to torture them?"
"So if we eat parasites, I won't have allergies?"
"How can I use gene manipulation to grow myself a sixth finger? No, really. I need it to play La Campanella."
