The world of rock and roll offers up interesting takes on our language sometimes. I was reminded of that the other day when I read of the emergence of a drug-resistant form of the bacteria that causes what’s erroneously called Montezuma's revenge. Dude, ease up on Mexico, the disease is linked to traveling to foreign lands generally. The bacterium is known scientifically by the name Shigella.

Do big companies not understand how words connect to alternate meanings? It's like when I was a kid. I seem to remember the Hostess company, who'd had such a success with its marshmallow spongy-frosting Sno-Ball cupcake, trying to introduce a new color. They were doing so well with the pink Sno-Ball. It was such a bad idea to try to market the yellow Sno-Ball.

It certainly makes sense, most animals, from bears to bees, exude some sort of scent that sucks in the opposite sex. Why not humans? We gotta procreate too. Survival of the species and all that.
