looks like a genetic mutation that cause you to almost grow a sixth finger, but when you were in the womb, the finger fused with your pinky

The Real Endless War

We are at perpetual war with bacteria -- not with all of them but with some. And by "we" I mean everybody, regardless of nation, color, and faith.

Drug-resistant bacteria have been in the news recently and I was struck by the nightmarish features of some strains:

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

The new heightened risk has many reasons. Bacteria gain drug resistance partially due to their rapid mutation, and partly due to people not following courses of antibiotics. Lesson: if you have the resources to kill the enemy, do not give up until every last one is dead. The strongest are always the last to die and when they reproduce, they create new generations of even stronger enemy.
