Alright. I've seen some screwy things in my life. But this damn near takes the cake.

A new toy series called Giant Microbes (www.giantmicrobes.com) has been released. What they are are toy representations of illnesses ans diseases.

Who knew things that can kill you can make you miserable could be so darn cute.

I think they look kind of creepy.

I'm holding out for the gonorrhea and syphilis plush toys. Those are the hip STDs that all the kids want these days.
