THEY'RE NOT AMOEBAS!!

about Amoeba Boogie

sorry, this shirt is the bomb, but these are NOT amoebas!!! someone should change this. they're definitely paramecia. ameobas move by.... kind of shape-shifting. they use their pseudopod.. or false foot. these are obviously paramecia.. which move by cilia. sorry, i'm a scientist.

those aren't actually cilia....just a stylistic outline.

Those are actually pictures of Jesus at Halloween.

not a big deal.

it's not like anyone will be asking you what the shirt is called.

I'm not a scientist... but even I know how ameobas move... it's called ameoboid movement. and it brings your scientific history into question just because of the grammar you used with the word paramecia. or the plural you SHOULD have used, paramecium.

hey.. "shags"... wikipeida it. google it. i'm right on both counts. it's called a pseudopod. it literally means "false foot". get it? pseudo.. false.. pod.. foot. and a paramecium is one. the plural is parameica. look it up chump.

bacteria).

The plural of pseudopod is pseudopodia too. In case anyone was interested, which obviously you are.

sirensrising on May 23 '07 at 6:13pm

Let me try that again:

"or the plural you SHOULD have used, paramecium"

Paramecium would be singular, I presume, going by basic word-learnin' (eg bacterium to bacteria).

The plural of pseudopod is pseudopodia too. In case anyone was interested, which obviously you are.

victimofopportunity on May 28 '07 at 1:00pm

Lol, I just learned this 4 months ago or so.

Despite the incorrect name, I really wish they would re-print this in my size.

To be honest I'm actually glad that I now know they're paramecia. Imagine going around all day telling everyone about the amoebas on your shirt...what an embarrassing faux pas.

So thanks! :D
