Ah, whoops, seems I've lost track of what day it is. Anyway, BennytheJett is dead. I understand why you all may have connected random items in my ramble to individual people, but there were multiple hints pointing towards the true target.
Am I the only one who is confused by the names Osteoblast and Osteoclast? I mean, "blast" sounds like destruction, yet osteoblasts build up the bones. I always have to remember this anomaly when doing anything with bones. They're supposed to act in tandem, roughly equaling each other's rate of progress. Osteoporosis is a terrifying concept. There's holes in my bones. Holes. In. My. Bones. On a semi-related note, I've never understood the etymology for "Endocrine" and "Exocrine". It's no surprise that Endo- and Exo- mean internal and external, as that's where the hormones are secreted in each system. But the root "crine" (from Greek krīnō) means "to separate", which doesn't make a whole lot of sense when the topic should be hormones and whatnot. I wonder if bernard has an answer.
Scratch is not a coding language. And, to be honest, it's harder than basic java due to how restrictive and cluttered it feels. Either way, I shouldn't be one to talk. I've never been particularly good at Computer Science, even though I've certainly had the time to learn a language or two. I've even taken a few classes in school, yet here I am. Maybe I should get outside more, or maybe I should learn Python after years of hounding from my mother. I bet pepperonipi knows Python.
I don't exactly have what you would call a "strong grasp" on music and acoustics. Sure, I have some experience, as you may have deduced from my early ID clues, but that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing. I've forgotten most of what I learned in high school physics. Hold on, did were we even taught acoustics? Or did we only deal with electromagnetic waves. Either way, I bet gz839918 would be kind enough to show me the way.
I only went on a small handful of college visits. Unfortunately, I didn't, and still don't, remember many details about them. I was, and still am, a terrible note-taker. However, one thing that I cannot shake from my memory is that, at Cornell University, their Oceanography course is surprisingly crowded. I think it had something to do with general graduation requirements or something like that. Oh, and their required swimming test. At least there was one thing I knew I could pass there. Oceans are quite interesting, though. I recall learning about overfishing and oil spills, specifically their impact on Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, in high school as well. I suppose that's pushing the limits of "oceanography," though. Maybe EastStroudsburg13 could tell me more.
I do hope you all can solve this clue. Perhaps my last three were just too hard. This one should be more straightforward, but still present some challenges. Oh, not *that* straightforward, but less vague and confusing than the previous few. Anyway, I have some work to do. Apologies for being over a day late.
