Why is there a phage injecting its genome into a red blood cell?

Here is a story about that telescope/microscope confusion. I made a “Robin the Boy Wonder” costume for my daughter when she was about six. It was authentic and very cool. We went out trick-or-treating. Every grown-up who opened the door said excitedly, “Oh, Batman!” The human brain is a funny instrument.

Holy crap indeed . Reminds of the cover of an old paper back of Ray Bradbury sci fi short storys “The Illustrated Man” .
I worked for ten years in the ever teasing world of mariculture, trying to create a successful hatchery on a tidal river on Long Island Sound – the peaceful part of my work day was working with a microscope on the six or seven single cell algol cultures we grew and checking on the viability of Mercenaria mercenaria fertilized eggs & doing mortality counts of viligers.
I still have my early 1980s Bausch & Lomb – given the brass fittings, what is its age of your scope? Seeing your tattoo brought back fond memories of looking deep into inner space.

I am so happy to see that phage!

For many years I thought about getting a T4 but never came up with a design I liked. I’m glad to see the virions getting their proper due elsewhere.

It is the most colorful tattoo that I have ever seen. How come anybody can call it a telescope?
come out to a more educated world Vincent, where atleast 10 pecent will identify it wrong
