IN UR NOSE, BLOCKING UR AIR PASSAGE
By Wayne Alan Brenner, 3:51PM, Wed. Dec. 26, 2007
Because nature, not necessarily intelligently, designs a few things, too. Things that make themselves a bit more harshly manifest at this low-temperature, low-humidity time of year. Things that some have called snot flaps.
Sound familiar? Well, we did write a small feature about them, about this particular bio-design, some years ago (when we had just finished reading Infinite Jest and hadn't fully shrugged off the influence of David Foster Wallace's prose style). We point you to that very (design, we're insisting) feature now, relevant as it is in these Neti-Pot rampant days:
The Snot Flap Manifesto
Enjoy.
