And who can ever get enough of slimes . . . they are just too awesome. I’m going to be helping the Rocky Mountain National Park volunteer collector in August. We don’t get them in the west as much as we did back east where it’s wetter, but they’re definitely still out here . . . we even have our own unique “snowbank fauna”, just like with plants and mushrooms.

Thank you for the mention! =D
The title actually comes from a chapter in Carl Sagan’s Demon-Haunted World: “The marriage of skepticism and wonder”. I think it describes so aptly what’s so amazing about the scientific worldview…

I have a slime mould ‘fetish’ too; it’s fun to run around taking pictures of them in the fall, when they seem to pop up all over the place!
