re: this.

me: i just did the unthinkable

John: i did too!
me: omg

plugs into the placenta?
which is like nature's electrical outlet?
John: yeah
the placenta is the intermediate between the mother's body and the baby, via the umbilical cord
it's sort of a filter
me: its a magic blanket?
John:  it's also, as i would have imagined, tough and fibrous
at least with the macaque monkey
me: like a steak?
John: idk. maybe like horse meat
me: never had it

John: macaque monkey?
me: close
