Scientific American for January 4, 2011 reported on the trillions of life forms inhabiting our bodies.
A new truth about Lady Gaga’s health has recently been revealed. She is covered in other life forms—“her little monsters” you might call them. Contrary to statements otherwise in the media, these life forms have nothing to do with Lady Gaga’s meat bikini. (For those who need the extra explanation, Lady Gaga is perhaps the most popular music personality in the world. A meat bikini is, well, unfortunately just what it sounds like.) Long before she strapped on her sirloin, her prevailing condition was contaminated. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the bacteria out of the girl’s large intestine. But before you get holier than thou, I should point out that the condition with which Gaga is afflicted is the human condition. We are all covered in other species, gowns of life far more outrageous than a few strips of wayward meat. Here then are the ten life forms you (and Lady Gaga) are most likely to be wearing this spring.
