One of the most famous, or should I say
infamous, quotes here at NMC came from a Physiology demonstrator. The subject was Action Potential, Tetany, etc., and this is what he said about the plateau (which he pronounced as pla-too) on the graph, "A plateau is a valley between two mountains!" You had to be there, it was so hilarious! You'd be pissing your pants with laughter right now if you had been. Then every time people would walk past him in the halls they would start mumbling "plateau, plateau"!
Here are some from our Behavioral Sciences lectures:
"During Pavlov's experiment, he used to
bell the ring."
"When anything does not make anything, it is a neutral response."
"No-one should be afraid of chicken wings." (referring to a person's abnormal and irrational fear, a.k.a.
phobia).
