NUDIST, naturist, naturalist -- huh?? :

from: On the Horizon - Calendar of Events:
The Log Newspaper, CA - 23 Feb 2006:
" [....] February 26 - Tidepooling at Scripps, San Diego.
Naturist-led tidepool excursions at Birch Aquarium at Scripps. [....] "

[ Note by SUN of SF: Usually, "naturist" means nudist. But in the quote above,
concerning Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego,
The Log apparently has confused "naturist" with "naturalist".
Or else SIO is cooler than we realized.... ]
