Dust Bunnies

Updated on July 15, 2010

I believe that there are forces that we just don't understand. First we have the roaches. They've been around for millions of years. Then there was the "Socks Are Really Space Aliens" article. Now a new conspiracy theory concerning Dust Bunnies!

You know what Dust Bunnies are. According to Wikipedia dust bunnies are small clumps of dust that form under furniture and in corners that are not cleaned regularly. They are made of hair, lint, dead skin, spider web, dust, and sometimes light rubbish and debris, and are held together by static electricity and felt-like entanglement. They can house dust mites or other parasites, and can lower the efficiency of dust filters by clogging. The movement of a single large particle can start the formation of a dust bunny

I imagine no one reading this fears the Dust Bunny. Just suck it up in a vacuum and the problem is solved. Is it really solved?

Where does the contents of your vacuum go? Into the garbage, then to the landfill. That's where thousands of other vacuum waste goes. Most containing vacuumed up Dust Bunnies. All these Dust Bunnies hanging together plotting to get revenge on mankind.

Forget the massing of a Dust Bunny army at the landfill.Suppose all the Dust Bunnies decide to form one giant Dust Bunny.Read the Wikipedia description again. "The movement of a single large particle can start the formation of a dust bunny". So why not individual Dust Bunnies creating one giant twelve foot dust mite, parasite carrying , disgusting Dust Bunny?

Impossible you say? Like the roaches, Dust Bunnies have been around for years.We as a species have only been able to control them. We haven't been able to eradicate them! What happens if the Power Grid goes down and we have no power to run the vacuums? Just look at history with the Dust Bowl. That occurred from 1930 to 1936 (in some areas until 1940). Notice the title of the event. DUST BOWL! Still don't get it? Dust Bowl..........Dust Bunny? See the connection?

Like roaches and socks, I'm not sure how to handle this problem. I only know dust burns. Hopefully when the time comes, my lighter will save my family.
