So my mom mailed me like a bunch of articles. And YOU GUYS, the Blob is REAL and it's on display in a zoo in Paris.

It doesn't have a brain, but it still learns things. Which. Relatable. It self-heals. Which. Less relatable, but still impressive. And it doesn't have a mouth, but it's like REAL into oatmeal, apparently? Which, no accounting for taste. But, again, no brain. So. Forgivable. Also it has like 720 sexes? So it's basically a brainless, mutant, gender fluidity icon.

Also, they've found a horrifying, giant (No really: SUPER BIG!) parasitic wasp in Uganda that lays its murder babies INSIDE other insects so they can burst out of their skin later. But that's a totally different story that nobody really wants to deal with.

OH I WAS YELLOW ONCE!!

TOTALLY worth it then. Like. Bonus features include: you're sort of Wolverine, you never have to conform to gender stereotypes because you have SO MANY of them it's kind of impossible (Which gender are you even going to conform to?), no one understands what you even ARE, you don't need a stomach so you'll never have a stomach ache.

Oh you could be a new gender every day for almost two years and by the time you looped back around I bet there'd be twenty more

Do you think it has a static number or that it learns new genders too? Breaks apart, learns a whole new gender identity, and comes back to the fold like 'HEY, REST OF ME! GUESS WHAT I PICKED UP!' And what ARE they?

720 is a X BAD LUCK X number, they can't stop there!

One article said ALMOST 720? If that's any better?
