Hunting Rivets

i have a lecturer who pronounces rivets as rabbits.

it's the same one who has labels on his slides such as "Weld decay in the HAZ of a s.s. weld"...

i can't believe there's no other way to phrase that. had to read it a few times to get that he's trying to say stainless steel.

and one of the slides shows a biological induced corrosion pit. (basically a hole in the metal wall of a chamber covered in algae) and you can see that the corrosion pit nicely dots the i on "dick" written in the algae.

and he asks us "why do postboxes corrode faster at the bottom than at the top?" *flash picture of postbox with corroded base*

apparently because dogs pee on it regularly.

seriously i would attend this class more often if i weren't so burned out on thursdays after my long wednesdays.
