A bubbly tale

Semester 1 results are officially out. Not the best I can achieve, but I'm happy that I scored pretty good for a paper that is considered to be really tough for many people. Hmm maybe I should switch majors to microbiology instead? Would be interesting to stare down at dozens of microscopes every single day looking at little (sometimes) moving organisms, trying to understand their roles and how they eat, sleep (if they do), secrete wastes, etc etc.

Then when I've finally figured out how microorganism X blows bubbles, I can write a textbook called "Bubbles in our world". I'd make it a compulsory textbook for students enrolled for Health Science first year in 2020, and 1 textbook alone would cost 33 bubble gums. On page 333 of some textbooks would contain special peppermint flavoured tickets to see a special show.

The special show would explain the greatest mystery to human kind EVER. That is, the answer to why Homo sapiens blow bubbles when those transparent, oh-s0-poppable spheres dissolve into the air 5 seconds after they are made. It makes no sense, really, to waste money and time doing that act. However, after thoughtful consideration and 5 years of research, a mad scientist have finally solved the riddle.

No, it is not as simple as mc [square], mind you, it is much much more complicated, so complicated that the scientist had a "mad" added onto his title after he discovered the answer. The lucky audience waited 3.3 hours for the mad scientist to appear on stage, and the chatter stopped once he stepped in front of the podium.

No reporters were allowed, you see. Security measures were so tight that everyone was given a super chewy bubble gum before they enter, this is so that the sticky gum would attract the little organisms living in the oral cavities of people who were lucky enough to witness this once-in-a-lifetime convention.

Everyone sucked in their breath as they take in the mad scientist's words: "... and now, the moment all of you have been waiting for: Behold, a normal bubble is NOT normal at all. They are tools used by aliens used to monitor the evolution of human kind. When you blow a bubble, saliva and thus, DNA flows into the bubble. Then, as it pops, a special signal is transduced to them, allowing them to keep track of us. I discovered that within this little bubbles is a magical ingredient which keep us addicted, if I might say, to blowing bubbles. And people, that is why we blow bubbles!"

The audience stared at the mad scientist in awe, not because they finally understood the mystery, but because the scientist was suddenly wrapped around by a huge bubble, and then taken up into the sky and never to return again!

The end.
