From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“ Don't accept the chauvinistic tradition that labels our era the age of mammals. This is the age of arthropods. They outnumber us by any criterion – by species, by individuals, by prospects for evolutionary continuation. ”

—Stephen Jay Gould, 1988

Me, Myself and I

I am Canadian

I live in the province of Québec

I am a second-year biology student at the Université du Québec à Montréal, in a problem-based learning program, and will complete my Bachelor's degree (a B.Sc.) at the end of the 2008-2009 academic year.

My interests

I am mainly interested in biology, especially entomology and ethology, but also entomophagy (not quite biology). I usually find most science subjects interesting. I like to cook and eat well. Excluding Wikipedia, my spare time goes to do what I can for the planet, reading (especially fantasy & fiction), listening to music (alternative rock, folk-rock and rock en español), and watching anime.

  • addresses (takes two d's) [1]
  • captioned (takes one n) [2]
  • species (the singular is also species)
  • dependent (does not take an a) [3]

Rant

I agree with User:Shanes' (now slightly outdated) rant: Why tags are evil

E.g. Neverwinter, with practically a full screen of notices before the article!
