Who knew Biology could be so sexy?

Posted in Humor by Cornell's Most Infamous on November 13th, 2006.

Check out this hilarious biology-coded Craiglist post:

I’m looking for a man to photophosphorylate me all night long. – w4m

I will fondle your vesicles while you caress my golgi body. My stroma is leaking all over the place. We can do it in the alpha or beta configuration, whichever you prefer. You whip me with your flagellum, tubulin subunits flying everywhere. We can make a mess as I’ve hired some lysosomes to clean up after. Please have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum but know that I like it rough, if you know what I mean. I also prefer my ribosomes bound…tight. Spin me round with your basal body and make sure it’s turgid. Pump me up and down your concentration gradient, letting the chemiosmosis take control. I can go both ways, just like an amphipathic phospholipid. Do you like aerobic respiration as much as I do?

Let me know if this makes you secrete.

If you actually know what those basic terms from cellular biology mean, it’s total nonsense. However, the innuendo is clearly priceless, and the potential for pickup lines is ENORMOUS. For example, let’s try:

  • Hi, I’m K–your concentration gradient’s looking a little dry!
  • Sunshine, I can’t breathe without you. Did I mention I’m a plant?

Clearly the author of this Craiglist post is more attuned to her sexual biology than I am. Leave more in the comments!

    The lengths people will go for a laugh/partner/advertisement… I’m not sure which one of those fits…

    Insert crude bio joke here–e.g., “If I could be an enzyme, I’d be DNA helicase, so I could unzip your genes”

    Quite intresting this gives me greater appreciation of biology ha ha also might help one get a girlfriend without stuttering he he ( cough )

    My bio book suggests that I familiarize myself with the female body – would you like to help me study?

    My friend and I wrote that!!! HAHAHHAHAHA
