look, why would I care about anything about the new 33 year old Wunderkind CEO of Chain I Don't Go To? Tell me about horseshoe crabs or pycnogonids, I have more in common with them and find them far more interesting.
@GraySpots @Leucrotta I dunno, Rin, lobed fishes like coelacanths are more closely related to humans than to bony fishes.
@noelle @Leucrotta That... is almost disturbing. From the fish's point of view.
@GraySpots @Leucrotta We're all fish! Four-legged creatures are all descended from a tree that arose from the lobed-fin fishes. :)
@noelle @Leucrotta I must be an embarrassment to the extended family, what with not being able to swim and all.
@GraySpots @noelle blub blub blub
the color is 'cause the oxygen carrying thing is hemocyanin which is copper based instead of iron!
@GraySpots @Leucrotta I can, however, tell you that horseshoe crabs have blue blood - and that it's valuable for medical research!
@Leucrotta Are coelacanths also an acceptable topic?
