Stuffed microbes

Ha ha. I found this website that sells stuffed animals in the shape of various microbes.

Ain't it the cutest thing you've ever seen? He's even got a fork and knife to make things easier for himself...

Anyway, you can actually purchase these things. Here's the website... http://www.giantmicrobes.com/
They have everything from the ebola to dust mites. It's great.
