a typical lunchtime thought process…

Mmmm…hungry time for lunch…

lunch, pork and vegis with sauce and rice

hair in food…

hmmmm…my hair or their hair

*pulls hair from food*

their hair

*flicks hair onto ground, keeps eating*–meh

pause

i wonder how many microbes are on a typical piece of hair

i wonder how many microbes are on my hair

i wash my hair

does she wash her hair

*looks at lady serving food*

maybe

I should culture/test my hair

that’d be interesting

no, not applicable–i need to test a food servers hair

*looks for dropped hair*

its on floor

floor contamination, damnit, can’t test it

someone in the US would wreak havoc if hair was in their food

is it that dangerous?

i should culture hair and see

*eats more food*

coffee sounds good

i should get around to reading Rob Dunn, wildlife of our bodies

he’d know if hair was dangerous

*finishes food, pays*

coffee

i read a lot of science blogs, scientists are getting ‘hotter’ looking

we used to have to hide under rocks

my German friend was surprised after learning i was a microbiologist

i asked why

he said because i’m attractive

i should make a calendar of ‘hot’ scientists

that’d be cool

with links to their publications and blogs

hot.

i should find someones hair and culture it…
