    Well, the blob has 720 sexes, which is impressive. The Orange Blob has innumerable sexual assaults, which is criminal.

    I saw an article on the blob. I can’t even comprehend. It can figure out the shortest best way out of a maze? If it gets cut into pieces it heals itself? This is the thing we need to get some cells from to help in medicine! ;)

    and if two blobs are melded together, there is an intelligence transfer. WUT.

    Mind blown. TY for that.
    I am continually amazed at how smart we are yet can't figure how some stuff works. ie) megaliths, the pyramids and now this! wow!

    LOL!  Those special effects- whoa!

    Actually, I was just seriously wondering what would happen if someone swallowed some of this stuff?  Would the stomach's digestive juices render it harmless or would... would it...

    Wasn't that a hoot? I wonder if I could have made a living running away in early sci-fi movies? :) Or maybe I could have made a living hiding behind the chain saws?

    The idea that we don't understand the pyramids and other ancient structures is fun, but it's not very accurate.

    Check out “the long earth” by terry pratchett.  There is a character later on in the series that is reminiscent of the blob, and will probably make the blob scare you even more
