Big Ball
Scientists have discovered that a modern single celled organism as big as a grape leaves trails identical to those found in 600 million year old fossil beds. The implication being these critters, or something very like them, have been around longer than just about anything else we know of, and that the Cambrian explosion may not in fact simply be a gap in the fossil record.
In other news, there are single celled organisms out there as a big as a grape!
I wonder what they taste like?

Yer evil that way, & we love you because of it.
But not in a teh ghey way, aiight?

Of course, if there was something I liked and I thought it'd make you chunder, I'd definitely see if I could get you to eat it.
I mean, seriously - that's in my job description. Kind of like showing Amber the balloon knot.
