Crop that a little tighter and square it off and it makes a great squircle. The growth medium is a fab colour! Better than that dull agar yellowish stuff we played with at university.

when I first saw this in my photostream and it was the thumbnail size it looked like a painted Chinese plate, delicate and lovely. Now that it's a normal size it kind of gives me the heebies.

That's not all it'd give you: Staph. aureus causes (among other things) boils, carbuncles, impetigo, food posioning, urinary tract infections, toxic shock syndrome, scalded skin syndrome, septicaemia, endocarditis, wound infections.. shall I go on?? ;)

Hey, I used this shot in my blog post here:
laconicreply.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/why-chr istianity/

In keeping with creative commons I linked to this page, and your profile for accreditation.

Let me know if that's cool, or if you'd like it removed.

Thanks
Eric
