Against all odds

I was going to write another music-themed post, but I have to drive to Phoenix so I don't have enough time. Also, I've run out of music subjects. Instead I'll leave you with a quick observation.

In our microbiology class we're learning about bacteria. Under the heading of "Origin of the Normal Flora" it reads:
Shortly after birth, the baby is exposed to the mother's genital tract normal flora...
So really it's a miracle that D-Rock even survived his own birth. It's like biosafety level 4 down there. Bravo, sir.

Yeah, you missed class today. The lecture was gonorrhea, and the professor asked "can you get gonorrhea from a toilet seat? (Read: the tractor story)"

Researchers swabbed hundreds of seats and didn't find any evidence of the bug, so they directly rubbed colonies of gonorrhea onto the toilet seat to verify survival.

I thought to myself "Those poor reasearchers had to rub D-Rock's mom on a toilet seat?"

Turns out gonorrhea dies out after it dries up. Lucky for us... and D-Rock.

I wouldn't say I missed it, Nelly.

And by the way...good one.
