Miscellaneous Lifeform Blogging Friday

This week, we slow down from the frenetic life that we have explored the last two weeks, the slug and sponge respectively. We now move on to a life-form that lives a more relaxed life style.

Let's move kingdoms and pay tribute to Physarum polycephalum,

Commonly Known as the Slime Mold.

Oh, true, we don't really know what the hell it is, and it isn't pretty to our eyes...but then again it doesn't need to be pretty, it is self-reproducing. It only has sex with itself.

In other words, it lives the life of the common Free Republic denizen.
