AS ONE A field of genetically identical amoebas in Texas raises the possibility that cells might organize on much larger scales than once thought.

I thought this was a story about Obama voters.

Too bad when these things encounter their first fire ant mound in the pasture, and promplty cease to exist.

What a bunch of lowlife scum, and i DON'T mean the amoeba.

Roundup, or just spray Kerosene on it i’d say. Watch these jackasses want to protect it.

Captain, it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

Enjoy the cheap shot while it lasts, Yoon. If today's Rasmussen Poll is any indication Hawaii will soon hold that distinction.

Unless, of course, they can find some way to disown him. Which isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

Shoot low boys, they're riding shetland ponies and we've got to save Tiny Town!

Well, a gratuitous swipe at W. How surprising.

No surprise, then, that they probably mean one of the myxomycetes, a slime mold, rather than an amoeba.

Amoebas are different animals all together.

In the first stage slime mold cells move around independently, then they suddenly form into a unified coordiated mass that can move around. At some signal the mass will clump up, differentiate, and form fruiting bodies that spread spores. The picture in Post 1 is of a myxomycetes beginning to form spore stalks.

Oh well, Texas doesn’t like the NY Times either.

But one celled organisms could never join up to form aggregates or cooperate or become pseudo multi cellular organisms!

Once again the “missing” links are not so missing, but living among us still in one form or another.
