I'm torn. On the one hand, it would be cool to not have to do that pesky eating thing if I'm distracted.

On the other hand, it would mean I'd have to go out in the accursed light of the daystar.

If you ate one would you still be a vegetarian?

I'm thinking so.. If it looks like a plant, smells like a plant, it would qualify to be included in the vegan diet.

Technically its not really half plant I don't think since it is unable to make chlorphyll without robbing the chloroblasts from algae...so its not entirely self-sufficient on the plant side.
Still pretty cool. Cool enough in fact that when I found the article yesterday I texted my plant/animal-kingdom-genius 13 year old stepson to tell him about it....and he quickly corrected me about it not really being half plant! ;)
