Also, like banana slugs.
(I remember that from Marty’s A.P. Biology class. Also, “Meiosis! Mitosis!” yelled while twiddling your fingers, which actually never seemed very helpful. Also, pregnant stick figures. Also, you never coming to class…or were you even enrolled in my class period? That would explain why you were never there. Hmm. Poor memory.)
I don’t remember what the twiddly fingers meant, either. Charles could probably tell us, but I recently tried to help him study for a microbiology class (or something like that) and let’s just say it was far beyond anything I ever knew/learned.

Hmmm. Now that you mention it, I think that maybe banana slugs are kind of like hermaphrodites, in that they can choose which sex they feel like being at any given time. Or maybe they are indeed hermaphrodites, plus they can impregnate themselves and bud asexually. Or maybe they’re just GROSS! All I know is that there is something really funky going on with those dang slugs. They’re not just your run-of-the-mill freaks of nature.
P.S. I like your tricky A.P. test maneuver.

By the way, I thought banana slugs were hemaphrodites…
