Strange Brew by John Deering for August 19, 2024

“Slides” right in there.

IF you can’t “dazzle” them with your brilliance …. baffle them with “kuhscheisse!!!”

;-)

Microbiology is a thing so why not macro biology?

I’m hearing Alan Parsons’ “Eye in the Sky” right now.

Strange, and I love it.

My name is Lisa Simpson. I’ll be your teacher.

“Horton Hears a Who” vibes there.

‘The Girl in the Golden Atom’ speaks from the slide in the lab’s powerful new microscope. The lonely student chemist determines to meet her…

Wikipedia: “A classic work of science fiction, this novel was one of the first to explore the world of the atom. The Girl in the Golden Atom is the story of a young chemist who finds a hidden atomic world within his mother’s wedding ring. Under a microscope, he sees within the ring a beautiful young woman sitting before a cave. Enchanted by her, he shrinks himself so that he can join her world.”

Giving rise to a belief in UFOs among some microbes.

Professor Jennings: “…could be one tiny little universe!”

Pinto: “Can I buy some pot from you?” Animal House – 1978

It’s all a matter of perspective!

Guliver’s Travels to a extreme.

Perspective is everything.

“The EYE is back!” – somewhere in Gary Larson’s backlog.

After using our best astronomy resources we can’t find a glass slide anywhere else in the universe that can support life.
