greifer (Allison Leigh Coates):
To survive in this mediocre existence long enough to wreak
havoc on the Fate that brought me here.
ANd now, until which time I can escape my imprisonment, to undermine
all doctrinal systems-- including verbal--and gain knowledge of
the collective unconsicous that determines our fate.
Or perhaps. just writhe in the eternal flames of hell.
Share and Enjoy.

Plan for this week...
sleep
x listen to Early Baroque's Greatest Hits
x draft of section one -- 21.690 paper
\ finish writing chapter 4 of my thesis
outline chapter 5 of my thesis
x = done
\ = in progress
(note that I haven't quite gotten around to sleeping yet...)
===========
Thought for the day:
Today's secret word is nowaday.
No definition for 'nowaday'. Maybe you mean:
1. nowadays

A MICROSCOPIC LOOK AT MODERN-DAY BACTERIA
SPIROCOCCUS - The Spirococcus is the first microbe of the insignificant
vicepresidentus strain to prove toxic. Transmitted orally, it spreads
throughout the system, causing irritations and other ailments of inflammatory
nature. Only the powerful antibiotic, Nixonol, taken in liberal doses,
can control the Spirococcus. Hoever, immunologists report that it is
impossible to take Nixonol in liberal doses.
FEDABODIES - Fedabodies are highly developed microbes with which the system
protects itself. Because of a strange biological defect, most Fedabodies
can only propel themselves to the left. Once turned, they attach themselves
to the nearest red cell, thus hoping to guard against the disease
Communemia. This, of course, leaves more deadly organisms, such as
the Mafiaspores, free to infect the entire system.
EMCEEVIDEOSPORES - Although it resembles a germ, the Emceevideospore
is actually a gray fungus which can rot the brain. Highly
communicable, its presence is detected by a soreness of the eyes and
ears, usually on weekday nights. Once the brain is affected, the
entire system becomes paralyzed in a seated position. Interestingly,
although no two Emceevideospores look the same, each has the same
deadening effect.
CREDICARDICILLUS - Twenty years ago the Credicardicillus did not
exist. Today it is an insidious parazite, even more deadly and
dangerous than the Chargeaccountocyte. In its early stages, the
Credicardicillus seems to be strengthening the smaller cells. Soon,
however, it begins draining these cells, attacking at monthly
intervals. In the end, the entire body epends itself trying to
satisfy the parasite's incurable appetite. There are more than fifty
strains of Credicardicillus, and, odly enough, all of them can live in
the same organism.
RADICOLLEGEUM - In extreme cases (and there are no other kind) the
deadly Radicollegeum attacks the entire system, often destroying vital
parts and blocking key arteries. In between attacks, it is common for
one Radicollegeum to turn on another, an act that may lead to
reproduction. The life-span of these microbes is limited to four
years, after which they either lose their effect and are absorbed
completely into the system, or they attach themselves permanently to a
red cell.
WALLACILLUS - A special variety of the virulent germ Jimcrococcus
known as the Wallacillus causes an abnormal enlargement of the white
cells. Although confined mostly to the southern US, it occasionally
breeds in northern regions. The Wallacillus is dangerous if
uncontrolled, since it can cause a violent reaction throughout the
entire system. Hoever, scientists can usually tell when the germ is
present by observing 2 important symptoms, a foaming at the mouth and
a red neck.

Don't stray too far, out on your own
When you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
