aneuploidy & enallage

thanks to a fine and cleverest new friend, I'm reading this morning about mosaics, chimeras, and freemartins. fascinating stuff, not to mention poetically named. although the science starts to get a little scary and even pretty awful once they get into grafting baby animals... for those with a soft heart, I recommend you stop reading before you hit the geep. the folks up in arms about dolly would go wacko over this one, I suspect.

and then there is enallage. this is one I'll have to share with my approaches to teaching writing students-- the intentional breaking, or twisting, of rules. what hey.
