This week’s arc is going to be hard to digest, but I’ll gut it out.
Hey, you’re standing on my flagellum!
Make sure those microbes social distance. We wouldn’t want them to catch any dis-….sigh never mind
True fact! (the best kind…) I read it in a Scientific American monograph many years ago. More bacterial cells than human cells in the body.
Don’t worry, burrito Tuesday is coming.
“Ladies and germs…”
It must be noisy, too. Notice the ones wearing head(?)-phones! It must be the borborygmous!!!
i have twice that amount
Now, there’s a germ of an idea…
I tried giving in to their demands for more donuts but they just keep multiplying!
The gut also has 0.5% of all the neurons in the body, second only to the brain. Considering that it is an amazingly complex biochemical processing factory, it’s not surprising that so many of us “think with our stomachs”.
So we’re walking bacteria farms?
A reason why anti-biotics should be used with serious care!
That’s why a drink lots of disinfectants. Beer’s a disinfectant, right?
No wonder I have a blow out sometimes, overcrowding.
The other direction through the scope; ideologies can form sentience & a life of their own. The ancients called them gods. Now they’re more corporate.
Humans are microbes’ transportation, home, entertainment.
Does that mean that if we didn’t have the microbes, we would be more than 50% space inside our bodies? Sounds questionable.
Well, actually… https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2016.19136
Looks like Brewster has a gut feeling!
