Deep Thoughts...

[jadefirefly]

When you wash your hands with soap and water, the soap kills the germs, and the water washes away the dead germs. Right?

So what happens to them when you use that alcohol-based hand sanitizer?

The idea of dead germs smeared around on my hands is really putting me off that stuff.

Hmm.

I'd recommend sanitizer on them, but then you'd just be blind, and have dead mites on your eyelashes.

I hate it when that happens.

The scary thing I've discovered is that your entire body is made up of disgusting little bits of slime called "cells." Who needs that?

Well that may be so but I am not thrilled with minature versions of Jabba the Hut crawling around in my eyelashes personally ........puke puke puke...

Then you definitely DON'T wanna know about forehead mites. (OK, here's the deal ... washing regularly only ENCOURAGES them!)

Just your forehead. They're a sign of good health.

And once you use the paper towels or some other way to dry your hands aren't there germs on that too?? The whole purpose of washing your hands is to get the really nasty ones to die.

 

[graceanne]

If you all don't stop you're going to walk around all day with your skin crawling.

LIE TO YOURSELF. That's what I do. There is nothing on you that creeps or crawls.

Actually the point of washing your hands is to flush away as many transient germs before they can take root on your skin. If you kill too many of your own normal bacteria you give foreign bateria a place to grow.

Grace's right. Your best bet is just to lie to yourself because germs are everywhere on every surface you touch.

That was kinda my point there are germs everywhere and no matter what you do your going to come in contact with them.

As long as there is no worm looking out of your eye in the morning...

'Nother deep thought. Puppets need strings to move. So, for a puppet, wouldn't bondage consist of untying it so it couldn't move?

No, no, no, see, y'all are totally missing the point.

The problem is not the germs themselves, my problem is what happens to them?

Do they dissolve? Do they just die and stay there? Do you then have dead germs smeared on your hands, or have they evaporated in a puff of invisible smoke, crying "What a world, what a world....!" as you cover them in germ-killing goo?

I mean, sheesh, if you think mites on your eyes are bad, imagine the kind of bacteria living in.... other places.

Oooooh.

If you put duct tape on a puppet, and then rip that tape off and peel off it's paint, are you tearing it's clothes off? Is that assault?

I'm not going to worry about anything too small to see. You know all the shit that is allowed to be in our food don't you?


30 insect fragments in each 3.5 ounces of Peanut Butter
35 fruit fly eggs per 8 ounces of Raisins
11 rodent hairs per 1.8 ounces of Ground Cinnamon
5 fruit fly maggots per 3.5 ounces of Canned Mushrooms
5 milligrams of rodent droppings per pound of Sesame Seeds

I don't eat any of those.

I'm sure there's plenty enough bad things in chocolate, though.

This is still not answering my question. What happens to the dead ones?! Everyone is panicking over live germs, I just wanna know what happens to the dead ones!

 

[WriterDom]

CHOCOLATE

Insect filth
(AOAC 965.38) Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined
OR
Any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments
Rodent filth
(AOAC 965.38) Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined
OR
Any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs

Dead germs
Any 1 subsample contains 6 million or more dead germs.

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Do they evaporate all sci-fi like if I put sanitizer on them? Or does that just wet them down and smear them around even more?

Is sanitizer good for chocolate?!

if they looked like kittens, but they were still camping out, would we be as disgusted?

Only if they had cute little faces and bows on them and stuff .

See, I think about that when I eat, but then I also have no problem taking a big bite of steak.

I feel like it's all the same, really... animal bits, insect bits, as long as I don't think about it, it's, well, not a big deal to me. I eat spiders in my sleep. I know restaurants call the 10 second rule into play. I feel like making a big deal out of these things is sort of silly.

 

[jadefirefly]

What if they look like massive walking squids intent on the complete destruction and annhaialation (I KNOW that is not spelled right) of the earth in a mindless, alien rage..... but have little bows on?

I offer the following as an example:
