      You probably will hate to learn this, but you have hundreds of tiny mites living on and in your skin right now. ;) They're called Demodex mites, and they mostly hang out in your hair follicles and eat the dead skin and oil that your skin produces. For the vast majority of people the mites cause no harm; they're actually useful as they help keep your skin clean. But a small minority unfortunately do develop allergies to the mites (or more accurately, their feces).

      "Spatula" is the Latin diminutive for "spatha", so a "spatula" is a "little sword". So the name works even better.

And don't try to say something like "they're in the same neighbourhood and kind of British so it doesn't count". That'd be fighting talk. They did get the habit from us, though. In fairness, as far as the British giving you a habit goes, it could have been worse. Ask the people in the place where the tea came from.

    It’s just occurred to me that I’d be curious to see what a ZeFrank video on humans would look like.

    You never fail to release brilliance. The problem however, is the amount of times one requires to rewind because tis hard to learn while rolling around the floor laughing our butt blends off. 🤣🤣

      I usually have to re-watch 2-3 times to catch all the jokes I laughed through.

    "Ridden hard and put away wet."
    I appreciate the endeavor to bring back that expression.

    The cavitation bubbles from Pistol and Mantis shrimps (I know not a shrimp) are so intense they, for a fraction of a millisecond, generate light and heat hotter than the surface of the sun

    Laughter truly is the best medicine. I swear you constantly make me laugh. Currently in a less serious hospital room than before. I haven't ever been cracked up by someone so much. Thank you.
