Hello. Today is Friday, September 11th 2015. ~~Fourteen years since~~ Here is a fact for the day. There are more living organisms on the skin of a single human being than there are human beings on the surface of the earth. Does that make you feel itchy?

	There are more bacterial cells in your body than there are human ones too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Cool! We are more bacteria than human! That's a very interesting and kinda gross fact! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only kind of. It works cause bacterial cells are a lot smaller than ours. So by mass, we're still more human, but by numbers the bacteria win. But it is a pretty fun gross out fact, it's one of the only ones I remember from my biology class. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yeah, that is a good fact. I like it. I'm using google to find out more about the sizes of cells, but it is kind of confusing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Were you aware that a human being could swim through the aorta of a blue whale? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I have several medical text books if you'd like to borrow one sometime. Some of them are very old and it's actually quite funny what people used to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know where the antique shop is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofschell 2015-09-13 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	No, I don't think so, but I'm sure I can find it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drhenrymorganmd 2015-09-13 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	I'll send you directions so you don't get lost. I love above the shop and have a lab in the basement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you! A lab? That's very cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I put it together myself over many years. It's very nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've been here for many years? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drhenrymorganmd 2015-09-13 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Oh no. I've only been here a few months. But my house from back home came to the island as well, with everything in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. That's weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	drhenrymorganmd 2015-09-13 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	From what I understand it does happen now and again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not in the normal world. I don't think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, not in the normal world. But this place is far from the normal world. (Reply to this) (Parent)
