About Me
- Name: Mike
- Location: Astoria, NY, United States
I'm a lawyer in my early 40s, and after looking for a way to do something other than the practice of law, I'm resigned to the fact that I can't earn bupkis doing anything else. I like lots of things, and I like to talk about them incessantly.

Yeah, when I was in college, I knew more than a few students that dropped out of microbiology after doing skin swab cultures.
If this helps...
At any given moment, the average human being is carrying 2-9 lbs of bacteria around.
We are ambulatory ecosystems. Isn't that cool? :)

I assume much of that is lying around in the depths of the digestive system, no?
You guessed it. :)
At least you have to hope it stays put in the depths of the digestive system.

Four times as much as that if you've recently eaten a hot dog.
Oh, and love the way the two illustrations pair up on your blog today. Not sure which one is more frightening.

The bowels of the beast, you might say?

And if I've recently eaten 4 hotdogs, does that mean I have 32-144 lbs of bacteria?

I have to go with Ms. Nolte, actually. It's not a cartoon.
The first life on this planet was bacteria. We evolved from bacteria. Lots of our innards are made up of bacteria.
If God made us in his image, God is bacteria.
But I'm not a religious man. So I'm not one of those folks who'd be happy to hear that God was living on his skin or in his colon.
In fact, even if I worshipped God, I still wouldn't want him living in my asshole. What can I tell you?
Mike: you are an asswipe.
God - This anonymous posting isn't fooling anyone.
wow, that anonymous guy/gal has a deep vocabulary. At least be inventive, or current. "Asshat" is much funnier than asswipe. Or try "assclown"
You should see what you can culture off the sides of your kitchen sink.

Or off my skin after I rub it on the side of my sink.
About 364 species of bacteria. Not a pretty picture.
Here's an important update to this story.
