Friday Burst of Weirdness

Plush animals have certainly come a long way since I was a kid, when it was mostly bears and the occasional bird or something similar. Now, just about every member of the animal kingdom has a plush version; displays of same used to occupy honored places in stores like The Nature Company and Natural Wonders (before they were bought out or went belly-up).

But it never occurred to me that our microscopic friends on this planet might also want to be represented in the "soft, cuddly toy" realm. Hence, Think Geek's plush microbes. Wouldn't you love to cuddle with a plush version of the little beastie that causes Halitosis? Sure you would!
