Why You Are Still Alive - The Immune System Explained

"Earth, Wind & Fire - September (Official Music Video)" (Watch on YouTube)

Something I found today that I thought would interest my recently finished science class students (and anyone else who wants to learn about the immune system).

I know summer vacation has already started but learning never stops (I can hear the groaning now). And it's not an entirely boring video.

I like to call it a Microscopic War Movie.

Narrated by a spiffy British dude and everything.

As life should be.

If my life had to be narrated by somebody, I'd want it to be David Attenborough.

An admirable choice. :) I've taken a liking to Morgan Freeman based on the television shows he hosts about science, but David Attenborough would also be my top pick as well.

"Here we have a wild Clint in his natural habitat, surrounded by books and papers as he scavenges the last piece of pizza. His life is a brutal competition. His most ardent opponent? His dog, who will, with no remorse, finish all the pizza in the suite despite the fact that his owner desperately needs it to finish his next report." That's a thing that happened.

Now if that ever actually happens,(a disembodied voice narrating your life) please let us know as soon as possible so we can help get to the bottom of it before it turns dangerous (as it usually does).
