I just realized my intestines are over 40 yards long. They’re curled up in a ball, just waiting to sprout out like a bunch of larvae out of a cocoon. I just realized that my teeth are NAKED SKELETON. There’s no flesh covering them. Start stripping away my gums, lips, uvula, the SKELETON KEEPS GETTING BIGGER! My cells are made up of slimy things that swiggle around in protoplasm. That’s like worms in snot. MY ENTIRE BODY IS COMPOSED OF WORMS IN SNOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!! ---

**Kn\*ckers** –just so ya know…Secret of Nimh is a movie about genetically engineered ‘smart’ rats who escape from their lab at the National Institute for Mental Health(NiMH).It is based on the very good book (and a staple of class reading lists since I was a kid)called ‘Mrs.Brisby and the Rats of NiMH’ by Robert C. O’Brien. Here’s a link for the movie, released in 1982 by the same guys who later did “An American Tale” and one of my favorites,“Rock-a-doodle” as well as the minor hit(and cult classic)“All Dogs Go To Heaven”.[http://us.imdb.com/Title?0084649](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0084649) IDBB ---
