The First [...] probably a connection with Fürst??
Yes, the are related. As is Latin princeps 'prince' with primus 'first'.

Lists the collective for bacteria as "culture," but this collective differs in character from the others in that it is more restrictive (I think). I don't think a "culture of bacteria" refers to any collection of bacteria that occurs in the wild, so to speak, but ONLY those that are grown through the process of culturing or cultivation; that is, by being put into a "growth medium" (such as agar) under the right conditions. Anyway, this reminds me - SUPPORT BACTERIA (it's the only culture some people have)

A friend of mine gave his son a T-shirt printed with EPIC FIAL. Cute! I used to have a T from a bar called "Chilkoot Charlie's Rustic Alaskan Saloon." Front: We cheat the OTHER guy ... Back: ... and pass the savings on to YOU! I found a less serious set of proposed collectives here: http://all-sorts.org/
