microscopic EXPLOSION.

quick update because i desperately need to distract myself from studying about genetics:

the funniest shit happened to me yesterday. i had wanted to cook pasta for dinner last night and remembered that i had a bottle of pasta sauce IN THE FRIDGE (n.b. very important that it was in the fridge). so i walked towards the fridge, took out the bottle and removed the cap.

quicker than you can say SNAP (and that's very quick indeed because it takes next to no time to say snap), the bottle exploded with a POOF and a cloud of spore-smoke wafted out from the mouth of the bottle, much like the ominous mists you see rolling over graveyards in B-grade horror movies. hail built-up pressure.

and so i was just standing there, in shock and disbelief, inhaling microscopic spores at the rate of a million spores per second. who knew that tomato and mushroom sauce would be so dangerous. and then it hit me. you know, the lungs would be the most conducive environment for little baby spores to grow into nasty adult fungus. the lungs are always moist and most importantly, warm. much like a mother's womb...ahhh.

so not only did i NOT have tomato-based pasta last night (i still ended up having pasta, asian style), i am now possibly home to a thriving community of fungi. if i don't update in more than a week, you'll know what happened.

i mean, how the fuck can fungi develop on food kept in the fridge?! goddam, they're the next super-race, i'm telling you.

ok...time to study. maybe.
