Artist's Comments

Through a helpful accident while mucking around with some templates, I ended up "creating" this background pattern. I rather thought that it looked like intestines. So I thought, "why not write a poem about intestines?". Sure, no problemo!

And seeing that I'm a microbiologist by trade (officially, and when I actually have a job. I just graduated, that's my excuse!), I figured I could write about the microbes IN the intestines! What fun! So, armed with some reading material and some microbiology know-how, I wrote this. I may regret it in the morning, but I doubt that. You would probably regret me writing it, though. But hopefully not.

Reading material!:
Study showing how the partnership between microbes can help us to digest and absorb food properly.

The reason why microbes and humans could be considered a superorganism. [this link requires a free signup]

That "*" is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, isn't it? isn't it? :rofl:

And you know you're going to have to follow this up with a poem about Staph and "pinnacles of passion upon my skin". ;)

:lol: yeah it is. I was going to use the entire word but then i thought that was funnier and it gave more balance overall :P

"Pinnacles of passion upon my skin"????? Where'd you come up with stuff like that? :lmao:

What about Pseudomonas aeruginosa and "glowing with a love so strong for your flesh, a passion like a fire engulfing you, glowing in the dark so deep..."

You did, doofus. Something like 6 years ago.

ie. Back when "I've Got Germs" was penned.

Do you have it or is it with me?

You and Far should not be mixed. :rofl:

Okay, maybe but only in small doses. ;)

So did I... it made my contempt for the teachers more obvious that way.

What, "I've Got Germs"? That's with me. Unless you mean the 'pinnacles of passion' thing, in which case you only *mentioned* the phrase.
