I and a few of the other amoebas are thinking of sorting joining together and forming a co-operative organism sort of thing......What do you think? I mean, sure, at first it's all 'All cells are equal' and 'To each according to it's needs, from each according to its ability' and 'pseudopods good, flagella bad' and everyone's living in a Eukaryote's Paradise.

But, it'll only be a little while before evolution kicks in and sex enters the picture and all of a sudden you're working for a bunch of stuck-up cells with only half the right number of chromosomes.

From then it's all 'All cells are equal, but some cells are more equal to others' and 'pseudpods good, flagella better' and jackbooted white cells 'protecting' you from 'infection' by foreign bodies, but don't even think of speaking out or you'll be labelled 'cancerous' and that'll be the last anyone hears of you.

And don't even get me started about what happens if you evolve a brain... I mean really, the nerve some cells have...

You owe me a bowl of primordial soup, faye.

In all honesty I'm a fan of both Cherri anyway. I really enjoyed this : )

It's more hilarious if you read it while thinking of the voice of the Cowardly Lion in Wizard of Oz.
