2023-10-10 10:17:07 <KipIngram   > Bizarre.  Saw a YouTube video about some little single cell organism.  I can't make out the spelling of the name.  But anyway, these critters will function as a colony of single-cell organisms so long as they have plenty of food around.  But if food gets scarce, they'll all meet up and merge into a multi-cellular slug like thing.  It will crawl off until it finds some food, and then it pulls a move that's

2023-10-10 10:17:11 <KipIngram   > That's just nuts.
2023-10-10 10:17:30 <KipIngram   > They can reproduce in a single-cell way and everything
2023-10-10 10:17:40 <KipIngram   > They just have two completely different life cycles.

2023-10-10 10:34:01 <KipIngram   > Stuff like that makes me think of Jeff Goldblum's line in Jurassic Park, "Life finds a way."
2023-10-10 10:34:09 <KipIngram   > He was so perfect for that part.
