JOE PA, SOCIOBIOLOGIST

by Orson on Aug 16, 2006 8:06 AM EDT

JoePa's been reading some E.O. Wilson, if the latest Washington Post article is to be believed:

On the fragility of life: "I do a lot of walking, and every once in a while, I step on an ant. And I say to myself, 'You know, we ain't nothing but ants.' "

So JoePa's either been reading chapter 27 of Sociobiology, or...well, the other option's just not possible.

Ants. Yeah, man. Ants.

Don’t be so fast to disregard the second possible explanation. Joe Pa just might be the original Puff Daddy.

That must explain why Wilson was our commencement speaker in 1995. Paterno must have asked for him personally.

Hope this mindset doesn’t spread into the season!

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That’s my dream. That’s my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight… razor… and surviving.
