the purpose of indepth explorations of photosynthesis, calvin cycles, etcetcetcs are beyond me. i'm never going to be a plant. it's not the appropriate career path for me [says the sinful waste of carbon, my guidance counselor]
therefore, why is it necessary to my deep, meaningful, thoughtful human existence, to know how a plant eats? unless they are insinuating that perhaps, in fact, magic does exist [this isn't a very big leap at all, mind you] and one day i'll wake up on a table in room 421 at st. anne's memorial hospital forced to spend my remaining days with a five year old girl in for tonsillitis.
and then i'll wish i paid attention. "hey walter, i forgot my damn NADP+ again. looks like i wont be synthesizing any ATP today." not to mention; my sex life would be morbid.
