I don't remember hearing that specific phrase in school. I remember hearing a teacher tell us to take deep breaths to fire up the mitochondria but not that it was "the powerhouse of the cell." This was a meme that became common after my education was done. Because it became a popular meme it's possible more teachers said it specifically along with whatever other fun phrases they had.

I have met multiple people from across the USA who specifically learned about "the fertile silt of the Nile river delta."
The book is on the table.
I haven't heard about mitochondria in so many years (obviously. why would I?) and I can't explain why it feels so good reading this now.
I just started replaying Parasite Eve for the first time since 98, so this was an amusing post for me also.
