"There are 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells in the human body. That means we are basically a means for bacteria to become mobile, to complete their life cycles and to procreate. We think they are living off us, but it is we who are living for them."
Dr. David Byrne, Phd in Life

Have you ever played Parasite Eve? They talk about how mitochondria used to be separate organisms in a symbiotic relationships with us, but now are part of us. In the game they revolt against us and it's bloody. Then there's 'The Selfish Gene' where Richard Dawkins says that humans exist just to pass on genes.

In short: we're being used left and right!

it really bothers me that you capitalized the P in 'Phd', but left the other two letters in small case. that makes no sense. i mean, fine, if you're lazy, just don't capitalize any of them. no problem. but don't leave the job one third done.
