I just got an email from the University of Michigan’s business office about a payment they’re processing for me. And their email handle is “Wolverines BO.” Because I am 8 in some ways, I cannot stop laughing.

“Like many other mustelids, it has potent anal scent glands used for marking territory and sexual signaling. The pungent odor has given rise to the nicknames ‘skunk bear’ and ‘nasty cat.’” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine

As a Michigan State Spartan I’ve always assumed this but it’s always nice to have it independently confirmed ;)

I guess hauling around all that adamantium makes him pretty sweaty.

Oh, believe me, we are all 8-y-o boys sometimes. My grandson and I say "fart" to each other quietly in public and laugh our heads off. And my son says "They're saying 'fart' to each other again" and then he and my DIL laugh their heads off.

The cardiology version of this is that Afib (atrial fibrillation) gets abbreviated as AF, and so lots of related clinical trials end with -AF, which makes Afib trials seem metal as, well, metal AF.
