      ok, so today i was discussing myosin isoform transformations in
      skeletal muscle with my biology advisor, and somehow or other the
      word "STUDMUFFIN" came up -- strangely enough, it was my teacher who
      said it, not me! so, i caught on to it, and we started discussing
      what a strange word it is... fun as it is to say...

      He told me that back in the day, men who were really hot and tough
      were called "studs" and women who were really tough needed a name
      too... since "studette" or "studina" sounds really stupid, they came
      up with the name "studmuffin" to refer to women who were really hot
      and tough!

      So he really IS a woman!!!
