Sometimes overhearing things is funny because what we overhear fits some stereotype, or something we always believed — the ignorant tourist, annoying intern, etc. Sometimes they're funny because they reveal some secret, sinister thing the person didn't want to reveal. And sometimes they're good because they're just completely bizarro. Dance contest! Overheard of the Week At Rice (14th & Q NW): Group of 3 girls at dinner talking. Girl #1: "You should do the ovary dance." Girl #2: "What's the ovary dance?" Girls #1 and 3 (incredulously): "You don't know the ovary dance????"

Abington resident Matthew Delaney recently made a few friends in high places. Friends who travel more than 200,000 miles up into the atmosphere, to be exact. Delaney, who currently teaches at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, flew to Washington D. C. to discuss education reform with members of Congress on July 17, and while there, he had the opportunity to meet the STS-124 Discovery Spacecraft astronauts, fresh from a mission to the International Space Station. “The astronauts were the high point,” Delaney said. “They were really warm and gracious and gave me a flight patch that they wear on their uniform.” Delaney traveled to the nation’s capital as the team leader of the Massachusetts delegation of National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs). During his visit with them, Delaney said he congratulated the astronauts for their successful mission to the space station, and discussed their significance in education as role models. “It was exciting because I had heard about them and I follow the flights a bit,” Delaney said. “It was exciting to talk to them about their specialty. They’re very highly educated and highly trained. I thanked them for setting a standard in being a model for students in science. One of the astronauts was from Japan and we talked a little about education in Japan.” The STS-124 crew was in Washington, D.C. to visit wounded veterans at local hospitals and to present American flags and attend a reception in th ...
