You know how
diceytillerman and I are always talking about the beauty of criticism and deconstruction?
This is what we are talking about:

Girl 1: "The problem with scientists is that you take the wonder and beauty out of everything by trying to analyze it."
Girl 2, from offscreen: "DUDE!"
Girl 2, running onscreen: "My plasmodial slime molds have heightened pigment production! Check out that yellow color! That actually makes them zinc-resistant. Amazing, huh?"
Girl 1: "It looks like dog barf."
Girl 2: "Hah, yeah! F.Septica is nicknamed 'dog vomit slime mold.' Cool, huh?Check out my slides!"
Girl 1: "Okay, never mind: what's wrong with scientists is that you do see wonder and beauty in everything. Oh God, it's moving!"
Girl 2: "It wants to hug you! So cute!"
Mouseover text: "The best hugs are probably from hagfish, which can extrude microscopic filaments to convert a huge volume of water around them to slime in second. Instant cozy blanket!"
