No, not from my nose but I do remember when my child came down with every single friggin’ cold in the entire universe. Of course, then the rest of us came down with it at which point we could rightly say we’ve got a house of mucous.
On the other hand, I so dig these underwater houses made of mucous.
Scientists have discovered giant sinking mucus “houses” that double the amount of food on the sea floor.
The mucus houses, or “sinkers,” are produced by tadpole-like animals not much bigger than your index finger. As sinkers drop to the sea floor, small sea critters and other food particles get stuck to the mucus and end up on the bottom of the ocean.
And as is my wont, I spy a NCLB lesson in this: traditional means of exploration never would have detected these very cool things. I still don’t see how we can trust that standardized tests will truly measure all aspects of an excellent education.
