I was just standing in line at the grocery store, looking at the magazine covers. I see a body builder magazine with a hansdsome guy on the cover, but am I looking at his face? No...I am reciting "rectus abdominus, latismuss dorsi, zygomatic, sternocleidomastoid..." :rolleyes:

I know what you mean. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of night reciting something I've memorized from A&P. Guess there really is no rest for the weary....!

That's hilarious! I was running on the treadmill the other day (it was facing a huge mirror). As I looked over my body I began reciting, "platysma, deltoid, biceps brachii...." It's taking over my life!

LOL I can totally relate to this post.

I think I am going to drive my boyfriend batty by the end of this semester. Today I was talking to him about the brain ( and the central sulcus divides the frontal from the parietal and then pre-central gyrus is right before that..now immediately posterior to it is the postcentral gyrus which.....all while I have my hands on his head ha ha ha) and finally he said " It's the weekend dear can you PUHLEASE give it a rest?" Ha ha ha

The worst party is this electrophysiology stuff....action potention blah blah. I have sodium and potassium ions swimming in my head all day long. I keep seeing little action potential blips in my head...ooh it's hit threshold there it goes- up with depolarization- down with repolarization- now into hyperpolarization......AAACK!

I never look at the words sodium, calcium or potassium like they're 'words'. They're always Na+, Ca+ and K. God help me the day I ask someone to pass the NaCl!! LOL

After learning about weight/weight (w/w), volume/volume (v/v) and weight/volume I started looking at as many medicine packages as possible to see what the concentration/percentage was listed on the label.

I still do it some 9 months later.
