Thank ye the gods of Natural Selection for cilia. I awoke around 5:30 this morning to the sound of my own wheezing and could feel the rattle of snot deep in my chest. (Must we, too, thank the gods for head colds?)

Propping myself up and letting the miracle cilia do their work, I was able clear my chest of its foul payload. Now if I could just get some cilia in my sinuses.
