September 1st, 2007

Dust mites eat dead skin
Drink the water we exhale
We inhale their poop

  1. I’m suffering a flashback to my UNIX classes:

    Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ‘em,
    And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
    And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
    While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

  2. What a delightful way to express recursion. Very cool.
