(Article explains: bacteria have smaller cells than our own and that they would fit inside a 1/2 gallon jug. Note to those outside of the U.S.A., Burma and Liberia: 1/2 Gallon = just under two litres).
- pooper 12y agoI didn't know about Burma and its problems with metric system. Apparently[Burma], they started the process in late 2013. Given that the US started this in 1975 and still hasn't made much headway, I am not too optimistic about it.
