7. Digging (har har) up this thread because I totally anthro-geeked out this weekend.

Exhibit A:
I bought a bag of puffed-corn cereal solely because it had a blurb about the importance of corn in Mesoamerican civilization. (Come on, it's not every day you see a product with the word "Mesoamerican" right there on the label!) :P

Exhibit B:
Two months after graduating from college and being all excited about not having to read/write papers/do homework/etc., I'm re-reading one of the assigned books from my sophomore bio-anthro class, on my own time, for pleasure. (Death's Acre by Dr. Bill Bass, in case you were wondering.) :)

Exhibit C:
I have started having conversations about cultural relativism and other basic anthropological topics with my mother on a regular basis. My mother is a journalist who took one anthropology class in college, where, according to her, they watched "Nanook of the North" and listened to their professor tell stories about his brief acquaintance with Thor Heyerdahl. She now knows who Bronislaw Malinowski is, what the key differences between monkeys and apes are, and how to use the word "ethnocentrism" in a sentence. I'm not sure whether I should be happy about sharing my knowledge, or worried about the fact that our mother-daughter conversations are less often about the future and more often about "what modernity really means!" ;)

Anyway, there are my examples of anthro-geekiness. Peace! :hi:
