Amoeba Sex

More musings by my co-worker for your enjoyment:

On this day in 10,000,163 BC, two amoebas were floating around in
a warm pool of water enjoying a casual dinner of green algae. The
one amoeba says to the other, “Hey, do you ever get tired of asexual
reproduction? I mean it’s OK to gorge myself on algae and go off
into a corner and split in two, but did you ever think maybe it
would be more fun to do it together?” The other amoeba said,
“Dude! You’re reading my mind”. Sometimes evolution isn’t very
romantic.

I have such great colleagues and friends.
