But wasn't it mischievous of you to make us yawn at the end, and for C Emerson to force me to think about all the bacteria in my gut?

Now I'll know to stay away from a dead one too. <br /><br />I had to think about the armadillos having babies that are all the same sex. At first I was like, well this can't be right or they couldn't reproduce but then I realized, the mother could have all male babies. Duh. Anyway, great post!

My dad always said the best way to kill a rattlesnake was to chop it's head off and bury it right away. He would, but I would always run fast in the opposite direction if I came across one.Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945983971515869500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576286379765530609.post-30051576096137304012013-04-05T07:05:54.668-05:002013-04-05T07:05:54.668-05:00LOL Jill!

I think I got over being "squeamish" after I had five babies the natural way and used cloth diapers instead of paper. <br /><br />Now I'm trying to wrap my mind around trillions of bacterial cells in my gut wondering how many are good for digestion and how many want to destroy my gut. <br /><br />Wonder if I could destroy some of the bad bugs if I drank a shot of whiskey? That's what they used in old Western movies to kill "bad" bacteria...on the gunshot wound and in the gut.Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945983971515869500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576286379765530609.post-83369094519628816422013-04-02T15:57:22.048-05:002013-04-02T15:57:22.048-05:00Jes...happy you liked the post and "learned&q...Jes...happy you liked the post and "learned" something.

Life is not for the squeamish. From Wik...Nice post. Life is not for the squeamish. From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiome" rel="nofollow"><i>Wikipedia</i></a>: "It is estimated that 500 to 1000 species of bacteria live in the human gut'and a roughly similar number on the skin. Bacterial cells are much smaller than human cells, and there are at least ten times as many bacteria as human cells in the body (approximately 10^14 versus 10^13)." Btw, 10^13 = 10,000,000,000,000 or 10 trillion cells (conservative estimate).<br /><br />Remember, each cell and each bacteria, given the right petri dish, can live just fine without "you" - but you somehow emerge from "them".

Maybe I should yawn first. :) I did yawn as soon as I was done reading all the facts.<br /><br />Choking on a toothpick sounds painful! 40 pounds of skin! So much to digest. Thanks for sharing. I love to learn new things!<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.com
