If you are whale watching and get the most from a blow hole, know that you are being sneezed on and are covered in millions of bacteria

You're covered in millions of bacteria just standing in the metro or walking in a public bathroom, probably.

Don’t forget the gut bacteria that are an essential component of what makes you “you” and yet doesn’t share your dna. Still blows my mind

True! But I’m not under the illusion that I am in magical whale mist.

My belt holds up my pants and my pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. What the fuck’s really goin on down there? Who is the real hero?
