A zoo in Paris will welcome a new occupant on Saturday: called a "blob" it is a yellow lichen-like organism that remains a mystery even to biologists.
The blob doesn't have a brain, but can solve problems and share knowledge. It has no mouth, stomach or eyes, but can detect and eat food.
It heals itself in two minutes if cut in half, can move up to 4cm in an hour despite not having limbs and has 720 sex organs.
Part of the Myxomycetes family, a class of slime moulds, a "blob" is neither an animal nor a fungus but has characteristics of both, and is yet to be classified.
He explained: "It behaves like an animal. It's capable of learning. If we put it in a maze, it will learn and take the best route out of the maze to find its food.
Similar biological oddities exist in the wild, but this is the first in the world to go on display in captivity! Videos for Watch : Mysterious ' blob ' Goes On Show 0:21 Watch : Mysterious ' blob ' goes on show at Paris zoo YouTube!! It will be on view at the Paris Zoo from Saturday, October 19.

Mysterious Swastika Incident at Yale Law School – Reason.com
Late Saturday night - between the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur - anti-Semitic graffiti appeared on the steps of the side entrance to Yale Law School.

On Monday, Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken issued a statement to the YLS community reaffirming the school's values, offering support and notifying the community of an upcoming investigation.
Gerken emphasized that there is no evidence that a member of the Yale community painted the swastika, and stressed that the act of anti-Semitism is "utterly antithetical" to the values of the Law School.

Having seen the initial reports, I checked google for any followup. There was none that I could find. I wrote to Dean Gerken:
Second interstellar visitor has a familiar look as Oumuamua becomes more mysterious | Fox News
Comet 2I/Borisov, the second-ever discovered interstellar object, has a familiar look to it, similar to the other comets that are common throughout our solar system, according to a new study. This discovery makes the first interstellar object, Oumuamua, all the more mysterious.
The study, published in Nature Astronomy , confirms that 2I/Borisov is interstellar and has a "cometary appearance," according to images taken on Sept. 10 and Sept. 13.
"Images taken on 10 and 13 September 2019 UT with the William Herschel Telescope and Gemini North Telescope show an extended coma and a faint, broad tail," the study's authors wrote in the abstract, adding that 2I/Borisov has a "slightly reddish color," which they describe as "compatible with Solar System comets."
Two-color composite image of comet 2I/Borisov captured by the Gemini North telescope on 10 September 2019. The image was obtained with eight 60-second exposures, four in green and four in red bands. (Credit: Gemini Observatory/NSF/AURA)

Joe Biden's Mysterious Claim That He Whipped Votes for the CFPB - The American Prospect
In typical debate prep, candidates try to game out what questions might come from moderators, and what attacks might come from rivals, to have responses at the ready.
But there are always moments that are impossible to anticipate. It's unlikely, for instance, that anyone on Elizabeth Warren's prep team had considered the scenario that arose Tuesday night: What if former Vice President Joe Biden angrily takes credit for your signature achievement?
After Biden said on stage that he was the only one who had gotten big things done, Warren noted that she had ushered into being the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, over the objections of Wall Street and many in her own party.
Biden objected. "I agreed with the great job she did, and I went on the floor and got you votes," he said, his voice raised, pointing at Warren. "I got votes for that bill. I convinced people to vote for it. So let's get those things straight, too."
Hubble Snaps Photo of Mysterious Interstellar Comet - Geek.com
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers their best look yet at comet 2I/Borisov.
* * *
Comet 2I/Borisov is only the second known astral object to have passed through our solar system. The first, ‘Oumuamua , was identified two years ago.
“Whereas ‘Oumuamua appeared to be a rock, Borisov is really active, more like a normal comet,” Hubble team leader David Jewitt, of the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement. “It’s a puzzle why these two are so different.”
Based on its fuzzy appearance, scientists believe the object has a central icy body a few kilometers in diameter that is melting into a cloud of dust and particles as it approaches the sun.
Still, analysts have managed to glean “invaluable clues” about planetary building blocks presumably forged in an alien star system a long time ago and far away.
