Too Salty
In yesterday's lecture I was talking about the dead sea products when -to my surprise- the LECTURER didn't really know what Im talking about ..
Not only that.. but as I was explaining to her that it's the lowest spot.. blah blah.. and that the water is too salty so nothing lives there.. no fishes.. etc (things which I 've thought she already knows)!
She said.. but WHY! How come!!!? Fishes always like salty water!
I felt sorry to open the subject from the first place.. HOPELESS case.. really!!!

When I went to college in Canada, people would have me get them dead sea soap whenever I went home for the summer.
Don't eb hard on your teacher, its a tough job, and they're all underpaid.

You are KIDDING me. She didn't know that fish can only tolerate narrow ranges of salinity, temperature, and oxygen? Sheesh. And SHE'S supposed to be the teacher? Oohhhh boy.

Here, in the malls, a lot of stands exist selling the dead sea products!
Everybody should know about it :s

I think that this proves the saying, "Those who can't do, TEACH." Sigh.
