Read the fascinating article, People Are Human-Bacteria Hybrid, in Wired.
"More than 500 different species of bacteria exist in our bodies, making up more than 100 trillion cells. Because our bodies are made of only some several trillion human cells, we are somewhat outnumbered by the aliens."
I'm a walking superorganism! I have aliens in my body! Could it get any cooler than that?
