I was going to save this for the next roundup

But I feel everybody should see and fully appreciate this opening paragraph:

In the wild, a worm blob looks like any other mud ball lolling around the bottom of a pond. But if you poke an unassuming worm blob, it will respond in a way a mud ball never would, wriggling out into a noodly shape that a Pastafarian might mistake for something divine.

I don't know what exactly is going on with the Science Times editing, but it surely is a marvel.

Behold, the Worm Blob and Its Computerized Twin

It sounds like someone has let the writers infuse a little bit of personality into their stories.
