    ...an Alternate Rock group, Duh!, They play Rot-Rock & are extremely loud with speakers that pull 180,000g (Gauss). Their sexually morphic lead singer Polly Saccharide (Real name Rhizina undulata) appears clothed only in a sheath of brown or flesh coloured mycelia that grow on his/her skin after special heat treatments only available in seedier districts of Mexico City.

    Another trivial factoid from a source known to be reliable at least severl times a year.


    ...enough already...

    That is a cool video. How does the spore resist the mechanical forces imposed on it by 1600,00gs? Doesn't that approach the range where it could warp protein structures or chemical bonds?
