Photos of my deary dear bobby the slime mould...
and here are some of the experiments I did first week with Bobby Jr.:
Basically i was trying to see if Bobby Jr had any human senses (i.e. vision, tactition, audition, olfaction, gustation). Turns out slime moulds can sense things (they like rock music instead of jazz cos of the bass, they like the colour blue, they prefer textured surfaces etc) therefore week 2 I went on to find out if they had proprioception (sense of space). Here are some photos:
Ain't he lovely? :)

just like to add that as pretty as bobby has become, it's sometimes worrying to be inhabiting with mould.
especially if it's not of edible variety.
can you imagine keeping the mould on your bread as a pet in your room? or feeding coke to the mould on your toilet ceiling? it's just not very conventional.
