PHages

Sheep feta cheese from macedonia washed down with nice draught from the river ganges turns out to be totally good for you. Leastaways bad for the nefarious bacteria inside you which are plotting to take over and control you from a grass-roots insurgency based level. It would be like the roach hotel where they check in and never check out except that there are no roaches involved and really there is no hotel, not even the california kynd, nor is there anything but checking out. Coolest little thing about phages is the wickedly insidious RNA injection method. Not only does it penetrate but it exectutes a wonderful cell'detat, ruining bacteria one step at a time, from within. Not like it's groundbreaking news or anything, after all what is. What is news is when those without news believe they've got new new news which is really old undiscovered non news news. Which tells you why bathing in the ganges and having your nagging bronze age momma yelling at you to have your daily feta cheese isn't so newsworth. Unless you happen to live in this day and age.
