Your shower curtain is awash with potentially harmful bacteria.

Norman Pace, a microbiologist at the University of Colorado, believes the enormous population of bacteria on your shower curtain feed on organic matter shed from the bodies of the people who use the shower:

When you cough, belch or fart, you’re putting a lot of organic chemistry in there.

Is “fart” an accepted media word now? Just wondering.

On that topic, Dr. Karl of Great Moments in Science once analyzed the contents of flatus by having an 8-year-old test subject aim one at a blood agar plate. The resulting sample was incubated overnight, during which colonies of intestinal bacteria developed advanced civilazations and petitioned the Australian government for official diplomatic recognition.

Dr. Karl described his conclusions on his radio show: Don’t fart naked near food.
