ooooh those sexy slime molds!
"Scientists in India say they have discovered two fossils fused together in sexual union for 65 million years.
But voyeurs will need a microscope to view the eternal lovers.
The fossils are tiny swarm cells, a stage in the development of the fungus myxomycetes, also known as slime molds.
The cells reproduce by "fusing," Ranjeet Kar of the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany in Lucknow reportedly told PTI. Once the cells fuse, long, threadlike appendages known as flagella, are lost, he said.
Finding the fossils in a fused position and with their flagella shed, is evidence that the two cells were having sex, Kar said."
I'm waiting for the pope to issue a statement condemning the slime mold for having pre-marital sex and using contraceptive
