I was worried they would be gross to people. Are they gross? I get used to it. I don't even notice the smell anymore. I guess I think my e. coli are kind of cute. I mean, they are blue & in the shape of texas & my face I also have a stuffed e. coli on my desk. Mike gets them for free, so I have about 20 giant stuffed microbes.

A lab has found a way to make e. coli smell like roses. The funny part is that e. coli makes up the majority of the dry weight of poop so you really can have S$%@ that smells like roses.

OK, I'm worried I'm grossing people out.

E. coli is in your gut so it's more like poop is made of e. coli not the other way around. It doesn't smell like poop though fortunately. But it does smell bad.

I'm so ashamed of myself for posting all this

Morgan do not be ashamed! I feel smarter now! Thanks for the mini-biology lesson!!

haha not toooooo gross, but more just lovable because I mean who else in our lives talks about ecoli so passionately?
