  1. Re:little Hogwort? on Reminding Customers Patented by Amazon · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is, indeed, Harry's school. Additionally, a hogwart is a type lily. It can be found, among other places, at Kew Gardens. So, "little hogwart" might be an affectionate sobriquet (like "little pumpkin") a parent might use to refer to their child.

  2. Re:Turtles on The New York Times On Earth's Magnetic Flip-Flop · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, it's not that random; Loggerhead turtles -- indeed, all sea turtles -- use the Earth's magentic field as an aid to navigation. Most animals know for their ability to return to certain locations use the variations of the magnetic field as a means to orient themselves geographically. So, a disruption or flip-flop of the magnetic field would send these species into a loggerhead with their own insticts.
