Come on, Taddy. A tunicate has a notochord. Trust me. Other than that,
you're pretty spot on. They stay in one place, they're bottom feeders
sucking up the detritus of the ocean and what small amount of spine
they started with has atrophied. They're creatures of pure reflex.
Prod them and they shrink in on themselves, emitting a stream of
processed water.

I point out their reflex reactions to Nav as evidence in support.
Twitch squirt, twitch squirt is all they do. The real pity is that
they can't come to terms with their own inadequacies.

The other thing we use tunicates for, of course, is........... bait.
Here they're dual purpose - both baited and bait.

We wait with bated breath for their next stumbling reply. Will it be a
coherent sentence? Will it comprise more than 3 words? Can they rise
above obscenities to witty and original insult? One doubts it. They
set low standards, and consistently fail to meet them.

I think you and Peter Wiley are defaming the invertebrata, now.
OTOH the x-posts do clearly possess an enteron, for their intake
and output obviously ome from the same orifice,so we can't shove
them _too_ far down the scale. i think the medusoid model, where
the mouth and oral tentacles are placed adjoing the testes, is
probably close.

Wonder indeed, accord is definitely lacking. Perhaps an elasmobranch?

Nonsense MC! THere's not even any _sign_ of a brow. Does it even
have a notochord, is what I'm wondering...
