MICROBES

In fact, there is no point in trying to hide from your bacteria, for they are on and around you always, in numbers you can't conceive. If you are in good health and averagely diligent about hygiene, you will have a herd of about one trillion bacteria grazing on your fleshy plains- about a hundred thousand of them on every square centimeter of skin. They are there to dine off the ten billion or so flakes of skin you shed every day, plus all the tasty oils and fortifying minerals that seep out from every pore and fissure. You are for them the ultimate food court, with the convenience of warmth and constant mobility thrown in. By way of thanks, they give you B.O.

JESUS SUCKS

An important internet thing I remember from the early 2000's-

If you typed "www.jesussucks.com" into the URL box and hit enter, you would be referred to a splash page of links to various christian-related services with the new URL:

www.jesusdoesnotsuckheisthelord.com

It's long gone now, but I want to preserve its memory here for future internet historians.
