Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Something for your next Cthulhupunk game:
Paris zoo unveils the 'blob' slime mould with 720 sexes which looks like a fungus but acts like an animal "If we put it in a maze, it will learn and take the best route out of the maze to find its food. If we put an obstacle in front of it — the blob hates salt, for example — it won't get past it right away, even if there is food behind it. "Then the blob will learn how to get past the barrier and get to its food, and it will start to do this more quickly and more strongly. "If we fuse two blobs together, the one which learned will transmit its knowledge to the other, and so, it will know directly how to get past this barrier."

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
We don't need to worry until the blob turns red.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Basement flooded with blood.
Now imagine something living in the basement. Something tasting the blood and... waking up.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Steam trees. Yep, nothing to see here, just steam rising from a winter tree. Totally natural. No forest spirit mischief involved.

Only five inches. What happened to all the rest of it? We saved up a whole basement full, and now most of it is gone. |
