It’s mental how this is pretty much known worldwide, like drawing that S thing. The one similar to the Suzuki logo
As a non-native English speaker, I still have no idea why this specific phrase is so significant and at this point I’m afraid to ask.
6th grade biology class in the United States, 2001 AD.
The teacher slaps up a diagram of a cell and organelles.
30-45 children all looking around the room, not exactly paying attention
She points to the various organelles, trying to explain their purpose, the golgi complex, ribosomes…
“And the mitochondria”
“Is the power house of the cell”
Children cheer in applause and repeat it, because it rhymes.
It then enters the collective unconscious of English speakers.
I was in the room where it happened.
“And the mitochondria”
“Is the power house of the cell”
Children cheer in applause and repeat it, because it rhymes.
Where the hell is the rhyme in this?
