layer the chocolate dont just do one coat put one coat on then let it hadern then do another untill you get it thick enough for it to come out right might have to test how many layers you really need but it should work.

[...] This amoeba-like creature forages for food by sending out branches (plasmodia) from a central location. Even though it forms vast, sprawling networks, it still remains as a single cell. It’s incredibly dynamic. Its various veins change thickness and shape, new ones form while old ones vanish, and the entire network can crawl a few centimetres every hour. For a ‘mindless organism’, the slime mould’s skill at creating efficient networks is extraordinary. It can find the most effective way of linking together scattered sources of food, and it can even find the shortest path through a maze. [...]

Yeah, but can they play quidditch?

This is really interesting. I’d read a little about slime molds a while back in a study on altruism… which leads me to believe that nature is a lot more interesting than most people know.

Why don’t they teach this stuff in High School? Every kid would want to be a biologist!
