Comments
My advisor started my oral preliminary exam by giving me a copy of a Vesalius anatomical plate, and asking me to comment on it--from a visual rhetoric point of view. Now I wish I had seen this site--Dream Anatomy--before (not sure if it was up in April). It's absolutely fabulous.
On an unrelated note: why does your comments feature never remember me (though I asked for it every time), and why does it set my debugging software in motion every time I type in a letter? I had to type this comment in Notepad and paste it in :(
