Cuddly Pink Swine Flu, Just For You

Now that autumn is here (well, almost) and a moderate level of swine-flu panic is starting to set in, we should point out just how cute microbes can actually be when, uh, magnified one million times and fashioned out of plush. (What?) I refer of course to ThinkGeek’s collection of Giant Plush Microbes … if fuzzy pink swine flu isn’t for you, maybe the aquatic-looking clap/gonorrhea critter, the lavender blob of mono-kissing disease or perhaps the e coli virus.

I am unnerved, and yet insensibly cheered. I do love ThinkGeek!
