No “five second rule” with us. If it hits the floor, it hits the garbage can.

Some memes are infectious.

First time I ever saw a bacteriophage in the comics. They do look rather like a lunar lander, don’t they?

First panel, middle row: is the cell being attacked by a virus or by an extremely small spacecraft?

‘welp’: we used that a lot when we were kids; haven’t heard it again ’til today.

memes are infectious? that is the definition of meme..an idea that self replicates.

“Welp” – My Grand Daddy used to say that. That was a looong time ago if you deduce from my handle.

To complicated for me…

My dog can hear a cheese puff land on the carpet 3 rooms away and beat the 5 second rule.

What is welp? Do they mean Whelp, which is a puppy or the giving birth to one? I’ve never heard this word in this context before.

When we drop food my dogs don’t let it hit the floor. Ergo, no five second rule!

Bill Spencer “The Twitter version of welp signifies the speaker’s reluctance or lack of enthusiasm for something that is finished or unchangeable; it is, roughly speaking, a linguistic shrug, which you might imagine as a combination of well and a gulp”

Dave Berry’s Dog Rule: “If it falls to the floor, eat it. If it’s not food you can always throw it up later.”

I feel exactly the way the pig feels…….

There is no “5 second rule” just a psychological thing changes nothing as the moment it hits it is covered.

Bacteriophages won’t make him sick. They only infect bacteria.

actually if a bacteriophage attacked beneficial bacteria it COULD make you sick… if it attacks some of the bacteria involved in digestion it could easily mess up your digestive tract.
