Synthia
The first synthetic bacteria â Synthia, created âto combat oil pollution in the Gulf of Mexicoâ which, has mutated into a highly lethal microorganism as a "flesh-eating bacteria." Created by J. Craig Venter Institute, Synthetic Genomics Inc, and BP. In 2011, Synthia was unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico and in its initial stages of life it absorbed oil slicks well. January 2011, the Register reported that scientists were particularly impressed by the speed with which the bacteria was consuming the oil. It was believed that Synthia feeds on oil, but it turns out now that it is equally willing to consume all forms of organic life as well. Strange reports started coming from the US, five thousand birds falling victims of an âunknown diseaseâ in Arkansas, or more that a hundred thousand dead fish found off the coast of north Louisiana. A total of 128 Petroleum employees that participated in the liquidation of the oil slick were struck by some mysterious illness. Infected indivifuals found themselves covered with itching sores only to die in agony a few days later due to extensive internal bleeding. Infected through a wound or unfortunate enough to eat raw seafood contaminated by this bacteria. Once the bacteria is in the system, it infects the layer between the skin and muscles and starts producing a toxin that disrupts tissues. It is known that Synthia is capable of reproducing itself rapidly within the infected cells, and that it is immune to antibiotics.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
EVERY mug I have ordered online through Urban Dictionary has exceeded my expectations! Each (5) is of a very high quality: Clear/Clean printing (ink, color, sharpness, clarity), and Outstanding craftsmanship ("feels" good to hold, and you can tell it "ain't made cheap"). Your company should be proud, indeed.
The Urban Dictionary is a unique place to find anecdotal memories on all sorts of stuff. Their ongoing communication once your order is placed is excellent. I have put in a significant number of orders recently, and the communication regarding my order status is excellent. I have had one order misplaced in transit. They have contacted me to say that they will get back to me, but to this point, they have not. So, that's a bit of a caveat in my rating. Overall, I would rate their products and customer service as good. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Fill Your Boots with Whatever You Want to Order. Nice job, "Urban Dictionary."
It is special to have a mug that has to do with my dad who invented a word when we were growing up. He passed away last year. Drinking from this mug is like spending time with him.
My brother Tom became an uncle & urban dictionary created a wonderful uncle Tom mugâŠ
I loved it! Excellent quality!
Itâs great to be able to create your own mug.
Great cup. Thanks for personalizing the message
Cool
I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen
