Irish joke
Long live the
Irish so that we all can enjoy the best jokes.
JKS Weerasekera
Sean is the vicar of a
Protestant parish in Southern Ireland, and Patrick
is the priest at the Roman Catholic Church across the road.
One day they are seen together, erecting a sign which says:
"THE END IS NEAR. TURN YOURSELF AROUND NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells,
"Leave people alone, you religious nutters. We don't need your lectures."
From around the next curve they hear screeching tires and a big splash.
Shaking his head, Father Patrick says "Dat's da terd one dis mornin'."
"Yaa," Sean agrees, then adds, "Do ya tink maybe da sign should just say

Present given to a new-born by the infants mother
Our zeroeth birthday present
We inherit our microbiomes from
our mother,
picking up billions of them as we slide from her largely bacteria-free womb
through her microbe-laden vagina. Being slathered in vaginal microbes might not
seem like much of a treat but it’s vital for a newborn.
Babies
end up with a very different portfolio of skin and gut bacteria depending on
how they are delivered. Those who are born naturally harbor a more diverse
array of bacteria, which resemble those in their mother’s vagina, including
several species that are important for digestion. Those who are delivered by
C-section are colonised by a less diverse array of bacteria, including some
like Staphylococcus that are picked up from the
hospital environment.
These
early differences could directly affect a baby’s health for these first
colonisers determine which the species that will follow. The bacterial
heirlooms that babies inherit from their mothers might act as a shield,
preventing more dangerous microbes like from setting up shop. By changing
baby’s first bacteria, C-sections could alter the make-up of their later
communities, leading to long-term effects on health and nutrition.
New model Volkswagen
Email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
This new model should be in the dealers soon.
This would not pass the exhaust emission certificate because of the emissions from the horse, but Volkswagen is working on it.
