  1. Does this simulation also include... by Channard · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... a fully 3D representation of the work-counter of a kebab shop, where the E-Coli simulation starts?

  2. I've had E.Coli by dorianh49 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've had E.Coli before, but I'm not quite sure what a computational simulation of severe diarrhea would look like; maybe Microsoft code?
