Slashdot Mirror


Arthropod Chain Gangs

monk writes "Science News references a story in the October 10 Science about Cambrian invertebrates which formed weird permanent chains up to twenty individuals long. 'The discovery of 525-million-year-old fossils belonging to a new species of arthropod shows that these animals formed communal chains never before seen in fossilized invertebrates.' It should be obvious to any Slashdotter of a certain age that this is the true origin of the so called 'centipede' in the eponymous game."

    Since when did Slashdot become either liberal or media? Maybe they can start calling themselves "the media" when they learn to spellcheck article submissions.
