Gnats And Tiny Robots
So I’m telling The Crumpler about how a gnat flew up my nose about halfway through my morning jog and didn’t get snotted back out for at least a mile and a half. In the meantime, I can feel this foreign once-living object up in my sinus cavity in between fervent, ineffectual nasal exhalations. Later, I come across this newspaper article about a Duke University scientist’s fleet of itty bitty robots. Gary suggests that this is like some bad science fiction movie where microbots are flown around for nefarious purposes on the backs of insects. Great. So he’s suggesting that I now have top secret mini robots floating around in my bodily fluids that were originally cast adrift on the accidentally nose-snarfed gnat. We’re waiting for the men with dark suits and ear pieces to show up and ask for their technology back.
P.S. I ran four miles and still keeping it under (barely) 10 minute miles, although it didn’t feel like it.
