    An organism with no organs? Wouldn’t that be an ism?

    According to this points at entire world history, that’s one of the most dangerous things there is!

      The etymological root that is organon means tool and the original usage of organism in English means an organized structure so the purest form of organism is a tool shed which does not need tools in it to be a tool shed.
