A hot little article from Scientific American: Microorganism Plays Both Host and Killer. Symbiosis makes me giddy. Now I have to figure out how to make my cells photosynthesize

that would be so hot if you could photosynthesize.

except that would probably require you to contain chlorophyll, no? and you'd look kind of silly if you were green.

also, you'd photosynthesize more the more skin you had exposed. so this would make going around naked a Good Idea, and I'm not sure how you feel about that, because some people are sketchy.

if she could photosynthesize, that would be so awesome i wouldn't *care* what color she was.

I think, for the photosynthesis to be productive, Alice would need more surface area. But the surface area should be able to fold small so it can be unobtrusive indoors.

Clearly Alice needs folding green wings.

Clearly Alice needs folding green wings.

that would make a most excellent Halloween costume. I'd do it myself if I weren't already going to be a sexy math ninja. (I haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to do that, though.)

Well, for less manditory public skin (not that I mind), and less retro-genetic engineering, you could come up with something symbiotic that photosynthesizes and lives in your hair.

Green hair is not that bad.

(although Quetzalcoatlus wings would be really spiffy)

If green skin corresponded to being able to photosynthesize, I'd think it was really hot. Though not nearly as hot as whoever came up with the trick in the first place.
