White Coat: The Wonderful World of: Snake Venom
I kid you not, this whole post started because of one little foot note in my biochemistry text book. If you’ve been following for awhile you’ve noticed that I often describe myself as obsessive, and here’s the proof. What set this post in motion? “Phospholipase A2 is present in snake and bee…
Some days, I just want to succumb to the fear in which nature instills in me.

I prefer to be alone when I indulge in them. I usually prefer gaming solo. I prefer watching my favorite tv shows alone. I prefer listening to my favorite music alone.
If I’m ever a bit anti-social, it’s nothing to do with anyone. This is how I’ve been ever since my personality has been molded.
If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco
Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope
wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her
mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands
(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for
help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined
that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and
untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and
eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in
what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and
every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently
around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most
incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the
rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole
time, and he will never be the same.INCREDIBLE :-)
This is fantastically wonderful
