Your friendly neighborhood bio-firms

When it starts getting cold, and the sky turns that delicate pastel color at the end of the day when the bare trees sillouette resolutely against the pale horizon, I have always had sense of peace. This is my time of year. However, my sense of peace has been upset lately by the sheer amount of bio-firms in our neighborhood. The trees in our skyline meet with humungus, unimaginatively named bio-firms who pump out this strange smell from underground, emit loads of light polution, and we're pretty sure they're all working on manufacturing the undead (or, at least, that's what it smells like).

Here are a few of the aforementioned unimaginatively named neighborhood bio-firms:
Biogen
Amgen
Transgenomic
Metabolix
Biopure
Genzyme (the most prevalent and evil of them all, we're pretty sure)

Rather than having a neighborhood sprinkled with quaint mom and pop stores where you can find the perfect loaf of bread or cereal that costs too much, rather than a convenient drug store around the corner that is owned by an elderly Portuguese gentleman, and rather than a cozy diner that makes the perfect pie, our neighborhood proudly sports its bio-firms.

Genzyme is my favorite.
