Rob said: The /. culture...

Isn't the above an oxymoron?
---------------------------
Defn: culture, n., 1. artistic and intellectual pursuits and products 2. a quality of enlightenment or refinement arising from an acquaintance with and concern for what is regarded as excellent in the arts, letters, manners, etc. 3. development or improvement of the mind by education or training (and the list goes on some more...)

Then again, maybe it's not an oxymoron:
7. a. the cultivation of microorganisms, as bacteria, or of tissues, for scientific study, medicinal use, etc b. the the product or growth resulting from such cultivation
