Okay, really, it is 27 strains of bacteria but still, they're eating it! Even scarier, they apparently have "social intelligence!"

Gigantic New SuperOrganism with Social Intelligence is Devouring the Titanic!

I'm not sure why (maybe I should clean my glasses) but I thought I saw that written as "more intelligenter"... I just knew that couldn't be, DB would never have written that.

(I promise, I have neither gotten into the Easter candy yet nor had a tipple of Baileys any time recently)
