"Would you like to Zoom an archaeologist?" sounds like a pickup line I would have (unsuccessfully) used as an undergrad.

Look I know we're called Skype a Scientist but this semester the reality has been Zoom an Archaeologist lmao

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN.

Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team?

Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!)

We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠

I lost my undergrad honors thesis when my hard drive crashed two days before I was supposed to defend it. I rewrote it in under 24 hours. AI can't feel stress and therefore it will never achieve glory.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

If god’s dick is always infinite to begin with how can he get a boner.

Can god’s dick be smaller than god without being smaller than infinity.

Does god scratch his balls. How.

We need to understand these things. Gender critical Christians alone can answer. Ask them constantly.

From our rare books collection we have this illustration of Vampyroteuthis infernalis, also known as the vampire squid from hell. In an order of its own, we don't really think the vampiric moniker is fair either as they actually feed on detritus and not blood #EYAMonsters

A colour illustration of Vampyroteuthis infernalis. The main body is painted black, with eyes painted to look bioluminescent
