Re: are we alone? (slime molds and other primitive life included)

Yes.  I am interested.  I don't have info on the photos to which you
refer but I am terribly intrigued by :     Slime molds - the most
interesting creatures alive.  As I understand it, they interchange
between the plant kingdom and animal kingdom.  That is,  they start out
as a plant go through the entire metamorphosis, then pick up stakes and
crawl along  with what would be considered 'animal' charactistics i.e.,
motion, undergo metamorphosis and plant themselves again.  This almost
seems progressive rather than primitive.  They are an interesting link.
Does anyone have specific info about them?  They do exist on Earth and
if, Calvin, you are saying that they have been discovered on Europa that
would indeed be a breakthrough.

Best regards, jj
