Bio teacher: Okay Cameron, poke your head up and watch out for me, the hawk. *bio teacher gives Cam a second to get oriented, then swoops down and "eats" him* Class, tell me, is altruism a gene?

Class: uuughghhh

Hillary and Vikki: Can we stay under here? It's nice.

Bio teacher: NAh, come on back up. Now, is altruism a gene?

*silence*

Brave student: No?

Bio teacher: Why?

Bio teacher: What just happened to your sentinel?

Random student: He got eaten.

Bio teacher: Right. So if altruism is a gene, wouldn't it die out?

*murmur of assent*

Bio teacher: So is altruism a gene?

Hillary and Vikki: Can we go back under the desks?
