An English professor wrote the words:
"A woman without her man is nothing"
on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly..
All of the males in the class wrote:
"A woman, without her man, is nothing."
All the females in the class wrote:
"A woman, without her, man is nothing."
Punctuation is really powerful
The term "dog days" has nothing to do with dogs. It dates back to Roman times, when it was believed that Sirius, the Dog Star, added its heat to that of the sun from July3 to August 11, creating exceptionally high temperatures. The Romans called the period dies caniculares, or "days of the dog."
