Frog slime?

I have mucous in my stool.

What? You're secreting mucus.

I've told you ... It is not slime! It is mucus.

And here it is.

I thought, If you take what you're given in this world ...

Here, the quad is behaving as if it were in a viscous fluid.

There was no way we were going to get a sample from that. That wasn't going to work.

I got news for you, Shadow Man! It's not slime, it's mucus!

I had a little tube with alcohol in it to send to the geneticists.

Watch how shiny the skin is you can see my reflection there.

So he was very excited.

It was only because we had a conference on the Isle of Man.

And then when myself and Emmett got back to Malin Head, to the pier,

I just barely got the lights out in time for you to be able to see those gobs of light hitting the transect screen and then just glowing.

Clay

And in about half an hour, we got five samples.

Environmental viscosity

Molding clay.

It's a tawa.

You know?

The answer is really basic materials modeling wire, paper, clay, and using something like this is able to make something look like a pair of glasses really quickly.

Or PlayDoh.

And that sugar dough?

So we thought, OK, we're going to try to get out and get some slime.

We're going to do something that in recent years we've started take a mucus sample.

It's like a wall to the electricity.

Yeah, it looks like Hae Ra has attached herself to Seung Jo.

It's how they, see, have those album things kids don't know what they are.

Mattie. Papa. Uh, this is Mr. Russell.

And the way it works is that there's a pump at the bottom, which periodically sends this liquid nutrient solution up to the top, which then trickles down through plants' root systems that are suspended in clay pellets so there's no dirt involved.

Sumerian clay stones have been found that date to the fourth millennium BC.

So what were these used for?

And so I want to do a little demo for you.

Are you being clingy?

Acid for blood.

What blood?

It's got light organs in the mouth, it's got light organs in every single scale, in the fins, in a mucus layer on the back and the belly, all used for different things some of which we know about, some of which we don't.

(Laughter)

Consistency is key

They fall in the same air. It has the same density.

Ellen was still there when I left at 9 15.

Ellen was still there when i left at 9 15.

Confidence and... and persistence.

They're all rubbing against each other.
