Help[Opinions] Re: Nettle
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
never had a professor down as the sort of person who reads fantasy novels :)
I forgot Molly's reason for using it, it's been a while since I read them. Maybe the parents did choose to use it in that sense.
Actually the wiki article for nettle makes interesting reading, I didn't know there was so many species and I think only one actually stings, unfortunately it seems to be the commomnest one in the West.
Maybe it's a shame then that any modern day, non herbalist, person will only think of the stinging nettle.

You must not know many professors! :)
The chairperson of my department is a huge Harry Potter fan.
One of the English professors at my university has been teaching a course on Tolkien for years, and he loves George R. R. Martin, as I do.
And of course most of the computer science professors I know are big fantasy and/or science fiction fans, but that sort of goes with the "geeky" territory. :)
