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.

they're called parasitoid wasps and most are considered to be beneficial to humans because they naturally control agricultural pests

the blob: relatable. the wasp: more relatable.
