Lady believes that the virgin mary appeared in her brain. Not mentally, but physically in her cat scan.
Good lord, check this one out. I guess I can see the hooded figure of Mary. Frankly, this looks a lot more like the virgin mary than the cat door looked like Jesus. Although, I can’t tell — it looks a little like the Virgin Mary and a little like a vulva.
Jesus!
Well, here he is. Jesus left the cat’s leg and jumped over to this doggie door.
Seriously, watch the video. Everybody in the house was laid off, and they still think Jesus is working miracles in their life because the ice machine started working again.
The irony is completely lost of these people.
Oh yeah, you can bid on ebay if you act fast. The current price is $1,185, but I bet it’s shill bidding. Nobody could be that stupid could they? I’d rather own I am Rich.
Another neat amoeba story. An amoeba species that sits around being all single-celled and all, eating and having fun. But when food gets scarce, they all join together and walk somewhere else.
Watch this video of 10,000 amoebas joining into a sort-of-multicellular-thingy and going for a walk.
Are you like god, or like satan?
Who says plants and animals need to stay separate forever?
This sea slug actually acquired the ability to photosynthesize. As far as I can tell, this guy seems to be mid-evolution (aren’t we all?). The slug steals chloroplasts from the algae it eats, but it does not incorporate the entire algae cells. Chloroplasts can’t perform the whole photosynthesis chemical reaction all by themselves, but rather need some genes/proteins from the host algal cell. This sea slug has incorporated the actual genes from the algae into its own cells, thus this guy really seems to be a plant/animal hybrid! It even has the extra genes in its gametes, so its offspring may not even need to do the steal-the-genes trick!
There is still a step left to truly transform this guy into a plantimal. I don’t believe the chloroplasts can be transferred to its offspring. Once this happens though, this animal would never have to eat anything! Super cool.
By the way, if this sounds at all fanciful to you, it’s not that surprising. The cellular energy factories called mitochondria that are in most of your cell types were acquired in a similar fashion — though i suspect it was single-cell-guy eating single-cell-guy. This is pretty different I guess.
Check out the article on these guys at the New Scientist, and watch the video here.
Jesus makes cameo appearance on cat’s leg:
