Multicultural is nasty, seen it in more than one Petri dish.

Re: Excuses! Excuses!
There's been multi-cultural stuff? Where? Where?
Re: Excuses! Excuses!
It's not always nasty, many arbuscular-mycorrhizal fungi have obligately intracellular bacteria, both seem to be quite happy with the arrangement, not to mention the way they both get along with most of the world's plants. Of course I belong to a multicultural family, now that can get ugly.I.D.10-t wrote:Multicultural is nasty, seen it in more than one Petri dish.

Re: Excuses! Excuses!
And by the way, the probably obvious just occurred to me: as talasiga will affirm, the words "thread" and "sutra" are essentially the same; thus I conclude that "sutra" and "suture" must be IndoEuropeaniacally linked. How's that for a Beer University grad?benhall.1 wrote:Shhh! Don't mention "thread".Nanohedron wrote:And so the thread mutters as it stumbles to its inevitable fate.

Re: Excuses! Excuses!
I would, btw, just like to thank talasiga for recognising how multi-faceted I am.
