environmentalgraffiti.com — Never mind that they look like virulent viruses or a fetish from someone’s kinky imagination; these little nuggets are the grains of life. We’re used to seeing bees’ knees thickly coated in them, but it’s a rare thing indeed to see pollen under the microscope, up close and personal and in all its juicy detail.

  • InMSWeAntitrust, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9You know, people think they rule the earth, that humans are the top dog.

    But inevitably, people forget that every spring we choke on plants' semen.

    Think about that for a second.

  • nathanskinner89, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3"Pollen grains also contain apertures in their walls like thinning, furrows and pores. Maybe pollen is sexy. Not sex toy sexy – though this examination seems to be revealing otherwise – but sexy in the way imperfections make us sexy. Gnarled sexy in the way chicks somehow dig Tommy Lee Jones."

    wtf?
