    @Dr Emilio Lizardo:

    If it makes you feel any better its about the same percentage of time (comparing lifetime vs time having sex) for humans and Crustose Coralline Red Algae.

    On the other hand if it's the red algae from an algal bloom ("red tide") then they are still having sex about 1hr 59 mins 56 secs after they have died.

    @AthronofEryndor: Until one of them has absorbed 20 or 30 of the others and then escapes and the show is suddenly "canceled", a spate of news reports of "unknown deaths" start happening around where the show was being filmed, roads are blocked, phone calls are jammed and the military presence starts getting scary and you know what happens next .....

    Man, doesn't that look *exactly* like it was built by that SF cover artist from ...um ... the fifties? Did a big chunk of those non-realistic covers with the geometric shapes?

    Gad, this would be a much more insightful comment if I could just remember his (or her) *name*. #art

    Thank you, Bauhaus, for continuing to give the world beautiful objects for beautiful purposes, long after you had to close your doors. If I could, I would apologize for the dilution of the many concepts nurtured within your walls and summarily employed as bastardized absolutes for design which in turn led to the revolting child's tantrum that is post-modernism. But as a product of all that came after you, I can't. #art
