Ditto. Sucks having a conscience.
Why donât they lower the road?
Nah man just send it
Yet another situation where the âpukeâ reaction emoji would be applicableâŚ
âMind-bogglingâ sea creature spotted off Japan has finally been identified
Tiny, flittering swimmer wasnât a worm, a mollusk, or a crustacean. What was it?
At first, Adameyko thought they were appendages, but looking closer, he noticed it wasnât a single creature, but many individual organisms, each just a few millimeters long. There were 20 of these swimmersâdubbed âsailorsâ by Adameykoâin total.
The hemisphere they were all attached to was even weirder. It was essentially a glob of hundreds of sperm-shaped organisms with heads about the size of a pencil point and tails much thinner than a human hair. The tails were tangled together in a center knot, with heads all pointed outward. There are fewer passengers at the top, where the sailors hold on, which may have flattened that side of the spherical mass.
Still, the bizarre conglomerate creatureâs identity eluded Adameyko. He consulted other experts, but no one could solve the mystery behind these tiny creatures. It was âabsolutely mind boggling,â Adameyko recalls.
using techniques developed to recover badly degraded ancient DNA, the scientists at last put a family name to this mystery swimmer: It belonged to a group of parasitic flatworms called digenean flukes.
Whatâs interesting about this new digenean parasite is that the larvae cooperate using two different forms. The DNA confirmed that both the sailors and tiny passengers inside the hemisphere belong to the same species. These passengers, it seems, act as the infectious agents, waiting to infiltrate the gills or intestines of a fish that swallows them. The sailors, meanwhile, do the hard work of moving the blob through the waterâbut they sacrifice their own opportunities to reproduce.
Yeah, I can certainly loathe her as a person while still being able to appreciate the extremely talented cast of adult and child actors that were in those films. And Iâm always happy to hear a great Alan Rickman anecdote. He always seemed like a real mensch to me in addition to being a brilliant actor, of course.
A fund manager is shelling out $269 million to buy and rejuvenate a clandestine network of tunnels under London
I have V little conscience when it comes to the obscenely wealthy, but no brilliant ideas re: parting them from their ill-gotten gains.
parasitic flatworms = evil
âImagine feeling the London Underground thundering directly above you, where âshaken, not stirredâ Vesper Martinis could be served 40 meters below ground,â read Murrayâs company website.
Bollocks. You canât get the original Kina Lillet anymore today, ergo you canât make a Vesper Martini anymore today.
Yes, I have been binge-watching old episodes of Qi the past couple of days. Why do you ask?
