2. And later you had gills and a tail. Creationists don't know that.

But then of course, if you did not grow out of that stage, you may be a Republican.

4. here's how I explain the difference between protostomes and deuterostomes...

...in first year zoology classes:

"During gastrolation, the blastocyst invaginates to form an opening called the blastopore. Now, say you stick you finger into the blastopore. When the embryo develops, your finger will be in the mouth of a protostome. Where will your finger be if the embryo develops into a deuterostome?"

5. LoL! Sounds like you'd be a lot of fun to interpret for!

Which is what I do. Love working with a funny professor.
