Intergalactic Summit

Gallente scientists working for a public health research project for the University of Caille have released findings that dispel the myth of "dirty Minmatar".

In fact, the research shows that Minmatar, living in the Republic, have some of the lowest populations of skin bacteria !

The research was conducted as part of a project intended to test responses of interstellar organisations to disease outbreaks.

Republic Minmatar were found to have lower overall populations of skin bacteria, while Gallente were found to have highest diversity of skin bacteria populations. Amarr populations appeared to have the lowest diversity of skin bacteria.

Jita residents were found to have the greatest overall population of skin bacteria, raising concerns that the vast amount of interstellar travellers going to and from Jita could facilitate an uncontrollable outbreak of a disease.

Reasons for the differences between population groups were the subject of much speculation by the researchers involved.

"I think cultural factors, such as the importance of tattoos and displaying them, are the key here", said one researcher. "Unclothed skin is generally drier and cooler than clothed skin, and so is not as hospitable to many bacteria species."

"The Federation is a lot more cosmopolitan than the Empire. I think that explains why Gallente people have much more diverse skin bacteria populations than Amarr.", said another researcher.

"Jita. It's a public health nightmare. Someone flies in from Maurasi, sneezes in Jita 4-4, then flies on to New Caldari. Thousands, if not millions are exposed to that sneeze", said another researcher.

Well, Amarr had THE lowest so what does that say?

I'd worry less about cracking wise and more about those Drifters if I were you Blake.

That or even single celled organisms want nothing to do with Amarrian ways...

We also take baths and scrub diligently. We are also not in the habit of passing out drunk and sleeping in our own vomit.

That might explain the lack of bacteria compared to the Gallente.

I must have missread that...

I guess that just means that only special bacteria likes Amarr then.

And Ibrahim, just..... Wow.

You're a skin bacteria!

It's because you keep all the harmful ones away!
Clearly I was being a supreme complimentarian.

But...but Naup, I've had all my shots and it rained on me just last week.

Does this mean you don't love me anymore?

There are no toilets here, what do you want from us.

If only someone would think about installing these appliances in the first place in capsuleer quarters, we would not have to clean the lower levels constantly.
