Marty is in a good mood tonight. He talks at length regarding the Japanese Creation myth (http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_1/kojiki.html) that he learned about during a mission to Japan.

Before class ends he presents Gandalf with a gift (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/oatmanspatient/whiskey.gif) with the following note.

Recently came to terms with some bad things in my past. Your class has helped me through it. The drink may not be from this world, but it's pretty good stuff. Enjoy it.

He also turns in an excellent paper on Buddhism.
