Guess Who Has an Omphalos Now?


On the first day of my matriculation to university, I had two classes, French 1 and Art History 101. I really can't remember anything from French I aside from my teacher's name being Marcella, but I do remember one tidbit from Art History. It was a class on ancient art and the professor started lecturing about the Minoan civilization on Crete. There is a stone somewhere on the island which is called the omphalos, or navel, since the ancient Greeks thought that was the birthplace of the world. Anywho, Nicholas' umbilical stump has fallen off and he now has an innie omphalos.


How many of you can remember something that you learned your first day of undergrad?
