In my infinite wisdom I took a quick (5 hour) break from my studying to reflect on the awesomes of humans and their lifes.

Being a scientist really puts life into perspective. Over the last year studying my subject (biology) I've come across things that have blown my mind, several times on one occasion, and I end up sitting there in awe at how stupidly, amazingly, stupendously complicated and amazing the human form is. I have trouble comprehending it all, theres just so much!

From the chemistry that makes the elements you eat. To the DNA that tells every single cell what to do! From them the proteins and enzymes you grow. To the tissues they create. To the nerve impulses you generate from tip to toe. To the chemicals that keep you in check, dopamine yum yum.  To the synapses, electrical pulses and those fantastical neurons.

That is all.

Click "Poetry of Reality". First thing I thought of

[Nilocy]

Yeah, pretty appropriate.

One line I liked was "We are a way for the cosmos to recognise itself."

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah if you took that completely out of context you could draw some hippie conclusions. The others there are decent, with an exception. One was pretty lame, I forget which though.

Sometimes I'll just think about how the cells in my body are arranged in blood vessels that carry blood around and that system alone is so crazy-complicated, it's amazing we live as long as we do. Especially what with all the extreme sports we put ourselves through.

It's always nice to sit back and appreciate the beauty of the human form.

I like to examine the complexities that arise even in the most simple forms of matter (only in pics in journals, my highschool doesn't have an electron microscope ) that make up everything. Like quarks.

If I cannot even read something like that without inferring a hidden Your Mom joke, what have I become?!

[Jackrabbit]

An internet dweller?

Particularily if it's the human form of Scarlett Johannson

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT I WAS TALKING ABOUT NAKED WOMEN, LEAVE ME ALONE

[Nilocy]

Yes, women are the best thing the universe has thrown at us.

[userpay]

Yes, women are the best thing the universe has thrown at us.

Best and worse?

[Nilocy]

Yes, women are the best thing the universe has thrown at us.

Best and worse?

Naw, best. The worst is probably anthrax or something.

[Jackrabbit]

Cancer. Still scares me, probably always will.

[kierkkadon]

I'm ashamed to admit this but the things in this world that I think are the worst are spiders. Scare the living daylights out of me.
That, and anything along the lines of violent, infectious diseases (mutated rabies in L4D).
