        Kinda depends on what you mean by "you." Maybe we represent the largest, most external and only conscious part of a huge symbiote.

        Love the description of one type of "wee beasties" (what Van Leeuwenhoek called them) as sperm wearing a skirt. Transvestite sperm!

        I don't wonder who I am because I suddenly realize I have a lot more friends than I thought. I feel a lot better, truth be told.
