I'm not much of a drinker, but these images of drinks under a microscope are lovely.

If My Body Were a Car

via an email from my brother




If My Body Were a Car 

This is just too funny - scary how true it is!! 


IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...   

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it

in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents   and scratches in my

finish and my paint job is getting a little dull .... 

But that's not the worst of it.   

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see

things up close  

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and

skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.   

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.  

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.   

But here's the worst of it --   


Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter, either my radiator

leaks or my exhaust backfires!

For some reason this morning the bottom strip looks like a possible mini-art-quilt.
