Shmoo
Michael Paulus

Wait – I don’t believe that a Shmoo even HAS a skeleton. Isn’t it entirely cytoplasmic? Or am I thinking of yeast?

I do like the little vestigial arms – kind of like the rudimentary, internal “hindlimbs” of whales and pythons. How did the Shmoo evolve, anyway? Did the proto-shmoo have opposable thumbs? How could evolution possibly select for the bizarrely self-destructive altruism of a Shmoo?

Uh oh. This is not a productive line of thought. Stopping now.
