cell structure

It is pretty awesome that cells are not only what we are all made of but, that every cell is a living organism that is complete in itself. it reminds me of that scene in the movie EvilDead III where the protaganist is shattered into sveral little versions of self that must combine to create the larger scale human self!
also facinating is the term "tensegrity" a concept and word originally coined by Buckminster Fuller.
it refers to structures that are mechanically stable because stresses are distributed and balanced throughout the entire structure, not because the individual components have great strength. from http://microscopy.fsu.edu/index.html.
