He gave me the action figure of JLU Rocket Red the last time I saw him. It's still sitting on my desk because it's too cute to get rid of...

*Phagocytosis: the ingestion of a smaller cell or cell fragment, a microorganism, or foreign particles by means of the local infolding of a cell's membrane and the protrusion of its cytoplasm around the fold until the material has been surrounded and engulfed by closure of the membrane and formation of a vacuole: characteristic of amebas and some types of white blood cells.
**Exegesis: critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, esp. of the Bible.
