I'll think of more later.

Mmmm...endoplasmic reticulum...

I have 4, Ebola, Y. Pestis, Epstein-Barr, and Trypanosoma brucei.

Fluffy, spot, lizzy, and Bob respectively

Edit: I also really want to get a mad cow disease one... i'd name it bubba!

@Distructinator yes is nice but does not roll off the tongue quite like "endoplasmic reticulum"

Awww, bubonic plague named Spot. Sleeping sickness just isn't a Bob to me, though.

Susie is Helicobacter pylori, aka the ulcer bacterium. Her full name is Susie Islington Warren-Marshall. She's much cuter than those pictures (she says the one they have photographed there is her cousin Walter) but she still can't explain how she's a female or how these supposed family relationships of hers are supposed to work. The important thing is that Susie herself will only attack tribbles, so she's just crashing at my place in case the tribbles try to eat Earth anytime soon. She likes music, dancing, and cuddling.

Did I win?

Basically, a box with Greebo in it?

Sorry Narsil not everything can be related to disk world, my box has more bells and whistles attached to it.

I whistled "Rule Britannia" while dissecting a fetal pig in my AP Biology class a few weeks ago, though I'm going to be majoring in Math, not Bio.

"If you consider the aquarium to be the ideal location for a first date."

uhm...i do think the zoo is a perfect place to go for a date. the aquarium too...

*terrified* Does that mean there's something wrong with me?

*wink* nice list lotsa giggles.

Shark Bait · Post by **Shark Bait** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 8:15 pm

Nah nothing wrong with ya, no see this arises out of my own idea of doing just that taking a girl to the aquarium because there is one spot that i think is very romantic darkend part of the aquarium with benches and stuff infront of three 10 x 14 ft windows looking into a huge reef exhibit

There was the alligator and croc and turtle habitat, and the one with the polar bears...*brrr* It was sooo fun!

My lab partner and I, right after lunch(bbq pork day ironically enough) we come into the class with little packets of bbq sauce. So we start singing the Chili's baby-back ribs song while discecting this fetal pig...no gloves, just ripping into this thing.

"Oh I want my babyback babyback babyback, oh I want my babyback babyback babyback, oh I want my Chilis Babyback ribs oh Chili's babyback ribs!"

*chuckles* One girl sat there, turned, looked at us...and I quote "I don't feel so good..." followed by the thump of her hitting the ground...

I seem to remember Shark Bait naming his fetal Pig Jimmy Dean and making a bunch of "pigs in a blankt" puns
