Apparently not just English. I was just reading an interesting BBC article:
The messages that survived civilisation's collapse
"More than 2,000 years ago, in a temple in the city of Borsippa in ancient Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Iraq, a student was doing his homework. His name was Nabu-kusurshu, and he was training to be a temple brewer. His duties involved brewing beer for religious offerings, but also, learning to keep administrative records on clay tablets in cuneiform script, and preserving ancient hymns by making copies of worn-out tablets

....He faithfully copied the old tablets, noting down for example that a Sumerian sign pronounced "u", could mean marriage gift, burglar, or buttocks... :eek:
 
I don’t have a picture but I did have a junior chemistry lab. The first thing I did was make gun powder. :).
Ha ha GMTA!
Well, maybe not the first thing, but once I found I could buy saltpeter and sulfur (I exhausted the kit jar of sulfur) at the pharmacy, there were many phhhttts and foops and strange smells coming from the basement.
