noun
a wishful process by which knowledge passes through one's buttocks from the book one is sitting on, thus equalizing the concentrations of information between book and the person.
- figurative: the process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of ideas, knowledge, etc. by sitting on a book
I can't take credit for this. During a conversion, I was just reminded of it and had to share it with the whole world (or just few who happen to stumble upon my blog). My high school biology teacher, Mr. McLaughlin, used this joke EVERY year. I say every year because I had him for honors biology, Advanced Placement (AP) biology, and, in my senior year, as teacher's assistant (TA). He was a teacher who was truly dedicated in educating the young mind and making biology fun.

Haha, that's cute lol. I wish my teacher had some great jokes like that! :D
haha... this is so familiar.. i used to disrupt my students' dream world when their heads are rested on their books by saying that the information will not pass through their semi-permeable membranes and enter their heads through osmosis..
