I've always seen it with 'ie'. And don't forget the bugs in your gut. When scientists changed the colony of bacteria in the gut of some lab rodents, they gained (or lost) weight. I was sick a while back and on antibiotics for months. Ever since then, I've digested dairy differently, not well, just differently. You don't really want the details. Trust me, though. It's different now. I think you spelled ‘Thingie’ wrong. I’ve always seen it with ‘ie’.

His wonder at nature was something to behold.

And they still are orders of magnitude more complex than all human-made devices. And, the most surprising fact for non-biologists: these power stations inside every animal cell that allow us to breath - who actually breath for us - mitochondria - are bacteria, too.

I see you still can't resist linking to the GnuYawkTimes. I hate that place! They must be regularly scrubbing logins from bugmenot.com, because I can't get any of them to work anymore. What a pain in their elitist ass I must be! Gack! I see you still can’t resist linking to the GnuYawkTimes. I hate that place!
