PARIS (Reuters) - A Paris zoo showcased a mysterious new organism on Wednesday, dubbed the “blob”, a yellowish unicellular small living being which looks like a fungus but acts like an animal.

This newest exhibit of the Paris Zoological Park, which goes on display to the public on Saturday, has no mouth, no stomach, no eyes, yet it can detect food and digest it.

The blob also has almost 720 sexes, can move without legs or wings and heals itself in two minutes if cut in half.

“The blob is a living being which belongs to one of nature’s mysteries”, said Bruno David, director of the Paris Museum of Natural History, of which the Zoological Park is part.

Wow...how weird...

• unicellular
• looks like a fungus but acts like an animal.
• no mouth, no stomach, no eyes, yet it can detect food and digest it.
• almost 720 sexes
• can move without legs or wings
• heals itself in two minutes if cut in half
• no brain
• if you merge two blobs, the one that has learned will transmit its knowledge to the other
• “We know for sure it is not a plant but we don’t really if it’s an animal or a fungus. It behaves very surprisingly for something that looks like a mushroom (...) it has the behavior of an animal, it is able to learn.”

How in the world do you administer an intelligence test to such a thing? How do they know learned information is transmitted to the other blob when they merged.

"Whoa, baby, #426 was the best!"

No brain. 720 Sexes. Moves without legs or wings. The libs will use this to codify group marriage in some federal court with an Obama judge.

“The blob also has almost 720 sexes”

What is ALMOST 720?

719.5?

And wouldn’t that be “gender identities” rather than “sexes”?

I just heard that Paris zoo security had to restrain Bill Clinton when he tried to mount it.
