A conversation from class:

TAG Student: Ms. S I want to write a report for our radio show about James Bond.

Me: What? The ornithologist?

TAG Student: Huh? No, the spy. What's an ornithologist?

Me: It's the study of birds. Well, the requirements of this assignment are that you do a report on someone who is real. Ian Fleming got the name for James Bond the spy from an author of book about ornithology I'm not sure what information there is about James Bond the ornithologist.

TAG Student: ... Maybe I should pick a different person...
