Title: Primordial liberal identified
Post by: RoadKingLarry on October 18, 2019, 03:16:56 PM: The Paris Zoo has identified the primordial liberal archtype, no brain, 720 sexes.
Or, could this be the original source of the liberal plague infecting our world?

But this thing can't be a lefty. They said it heals itself. A true leftist would require a safe-space to heal.

Slime molds are legitimately interesting, but poo science disgusts me.

Slime molds are legitimately interesting, but poo science disgusts me.

The three things I remember from a "Mold Seminar" long ago was that everything under the normal forest litter you crunch through is mold, that if you cut a colony of some molds (slime molds?) in half, they will try to rejoin over quite a distance, and that there are "artillery molds," which are known to shoot their spores a considerable distance.

So they really are interesting, but over time, most of the lecture by the well-known moldologist (mycologist?) has been forgotten.

That's it, that's all I know.... Oh, wait ! Fig Newtons were named after a town in Massachussetts, not the scientist.
