Everybody is talking about animals now, according to three separate things that three separate people said. IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE THAT THREE OF ANYTHING MAKES A TREND!

First, a pair of professors:

“Sex with animals…it doesn’t seem like something we might do today. But in a rural world, it does happen!”

– Professor Alfred MacAdam, Latin American Literature in Translation, on One Hundred Years of Solitude

“Everyone here loves camels. They are beastly, beastly mean animals.” 

– Professor George Saliba, Contemporary Islamic Civilization, on the Safavid Empire

…and then, a student continues the trend:

“… and that would be fine, except that I’m allergic to scorpion blood.”

– Girl in McIntosh in between bites of (hopefully scorpion-free) sushi
