  1. Wow. That has got to be the weirdest thing I've seen in quite a while.

    1. Good to know. I reflexly close windows at paywalls without taking the time to explore options like the one you suggest.

  3. That was interesting. Maybe i am an aggregation of tentacled microdroplets that somehow got together and more complex. Maybe we got better and better and more complicated?
    I have no problem with this. I embrace and respect my microdroplet ancestors!

    Things are a lot more complicated these days. Our ancient microdoplets have had a few billion years to elaborate and now i have all these things i don't understand.
