Hermaphroditus.
What is your worst habit when shopping?
Going grocery shopping when I'm hungry and buying all of the food. there's only so much pasta one man can eat.
Why are we here?
On earth? Because of evolution. So, random chance and a lot of luck. If you want a more metaphysical answer, read the last paragraph of this book.
How good are you at wrapping presents?
So bad.
Do you have a visceral reaction to a specific colour? If so; elaborate. If not, move on to question six.
I had to look up the word visceral. sort of bright but deep blue. a bit like yves klein blue. or gold, like medieval paintings or greek orthodox icons.
Who is your favourite fictional representation of Death?
Discworld, obvs. no1 is surprised.
What is your preferred method of travel?
Probably trains? Buses are really scary because the perspective is wrong and i'm always scared we're going to hit people.

i don't know any weird facts?? all of the facts i know are art history related. please ask me about my subject it's completely useless otherwise.

ALL OF THE DISCWORLD LADIES LIKE CHEERY AND SYBIL AND PTRACI AND ANGUA
but from non-disc characters dora flood from cannery row
if you haven't read cannery row yet read it
it will change your life
it's the most beautiful book in the world and it kills me read it right now
Nicotine may also contribute to some chronic inflammation and emphysema seen in cigarette smokers. This study (pubmed/8636647) found that nicotine suppressed neutrophil apoptosis in culture. Elastase produced by neutrophils contributes to pathogenesis of emphysema (evidenced by the emphysema seen in people with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency), so it seems plausible that prolonging their lifespan could increase the risk of developing the disease. I agree that more nicotine-only studies are needed
Study
Love when people link me additional stuff!
I assume that with the rise of e-cigs we're going to see more nicotine-only studies (in vivo and in vitro), possibly even longterm ones so that’s totally something to stay on the lookout for.
Hey, long time no...message. I totally ship you with those uni guys you're always blogging about. What are they called, is it...David or something? Darren? Derek?
