Earlier today, I was reading stuff for my BIOL tutorial next week, about the origins and definitions of cell biology words. Part of the work we had to do for the next tutorial was use a list of Latin and Greek word stems, and figure out the definitions of ten complicated multi-syllable words that were related to the course. While reading through the list of definitions, I cam across this one:
Phy - to grow
which is appropriate, because it reminded me of this little guy from Ravnica:
For a cool story about Phytohydra, see Bao's blog, specifically the post entitled "Ravnica". It's funny how I usually manage to see so much Magic related stuff in my day to day activities some days. Most of the time, it's nothing much to write about, like some prof mentioning the name of a card that's also a common English word. But other times, interesting things pop up like this, or one lecture where I remember the prof used like 3 Magic card names in less than a minute or so. :P
