Heh. Woodpecker shrooms. Strange, though all very familiar. I recall reading something from Gurdjieff once stating that it was nearly impossible to draw an imaginary animal that didn't resemble some other already extant animal. Though that doesn't seem to be Ross' intent, I wonder if anyone can do such a thing. posted by Burhanistan at 2:40 PM on April 2, 2009
My drawings offer visual hypotheses to the question: what would happen if the DNA sequence of a plant or mushroom were spliced with that of an animal?

I was kinda hoping for a Devil's Snuffbox Shark riding a Death Cap Elephant, trampling, exploding spores, causing hallucinations, and eating everything they see. posted by Bernt Pancreas at 3:17 PM on April 2, 2009
Bush? Prince Charles was worried in 1995. From that article: How can you tell if the food on your plate has been genetically engineered? The short answer is: you can't.
