So I was on the slackers' exit shuttle this afternoon -- those of us leaving campus at 2:00 p.m. are known as The Slackers (of course none of those real slackers are on the 6 a.m. incoming shuttle with me are they? Nope, they're not.) and anyway young Pavel Leib, a science professor, Russian Jew, and long ago graduate now teaching at his alma mater said, unasked:
"You know in Russian the same word for "marriage" also means "a job poorly done.""We all laughed in disbelief but it could be true and we all actually believed him.
