  • In the end we're all just (in)human

    More than half your body is not human! The rest is from the swamp thing or somesuch

    Here's everything you need to know, totally-not-out-of-context:


    Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists.
    "your body isn't just you".
    "You're more microbe than you are human."

    By cell count, yeah. By mass we're still human, because eukaryotes are bigger than prokaryotes.

              A dangerous concept round these parts. Doubt you'll get banned but the masses might turn against you. Take it from me.
