People are freaking out over something that's salad and escargot mixed? The French probably have their surrender written out already.

The Paris Decree was drafted early this morning, aboard a train leaving the city. Part of it states that only 15% of the french population is available as hors d'oeuvres, and that women in particular are not to be served with butter.

Silly goose, it's not magic. If it's something that can be studied and replicated under scientific conditions, then for all intents and purposes, it is scientific.

I'm supposing this is going to inspire some comic book writer to come up with an origin for a new supervillian or monster that eats buildings and people.

I find it hard to believe that a scientist would ever describe something as "magic".

In fact, the only thing truly interesting about this stALL HAIL THE HYPNO SLUG

I think the main point about this is the fact that this organism acquired the gene for photosynthesis simply by coexisting with its food source.

If more organisms like that existed, think of the possibilities.

If I remember correctly they've already found an organism that shits out oil. But I may be mistaken.

Damn my ignorance for believing, rather literally, that this was a possibility. :'(
That's definitely a curious discovery, though - a slug that gains the chlorophyll from algae. It still just looks like a fucking blob, though: this obviously goes to show us that "simple" looking animals are far from it.

That slug is pretty badass. There are plants. There are animals. Then there are planimals, or aniplants.

There's only one way we can stop them dominating the Earth.

We must blow up the sun.
