It's very easy to think of ourselves as higher organisms, I mean just look at the digital watch or the cell phone as evidence of our Bruckhimer-like awesomeness. However have you ever considered the possibility humans have been domesticated like cattle and not by martians but by bacteria. Look at the facts; our bodies are simply just mobile fluid tubes. They are the perfect transportation for the uber-prokaryote: a constant temperture, several nooks in which to hide, and a near inexaustable supply of nutrients. Now where is the proof to all these wild ideas? Just look at the structure and function of our DNA and compare it to that of the common E. Coli, like setting an Xbox 360 next to an Atari 2600. All the tricks and other means we have to translate and transcribe our DNA came form our non-nucleated brethern and they're still light years ahead of us in that area. And of course the ability to have sex every thirty seconds or so will definitly secure one's place at the evolutinary smorgasboard. So next time you are feeling superior consider that the endgame is that you are a hotel for a billion occupants.

I've been reading Stiff, have you read it? it's really interesting. it's given me some interesting things to think about, that's for sure. oh, and i've been browsing some mortuary school catalogues that i've gotten in the mail, too, so i've been having fun with that.
whenever i think i'm becoming too arrogant (species-wise), i remember that the only reason that we exist was because DNA needed housing to protect it from the elements. that usually knocks me down a peg or two.
And It looks like I'll be going to Sons of Butcher after all.
Might see you there If you're still going.
