But of course! It's a proper, American Dictionary!
di·no·flag·el·late (dº"n½-fl²j".-l¹t, -l³t", -fl.-jµl"¹t) n. Any of numerous
minute, chiefly marine protozoans of the order Dinoflagellata,
characteristically **having two flagella** and a cellulose covering and
forming one of the chief constituents of plankton. They include
bioluminescent forms and forms that produce red tide. [From New Latin
Dinoflagellata, class name : Greek dinos, eddy (from dinein, to whirl) +
Latin flagellum, flagellum; see FLAGELLUM.]

In that case it needs to be a good one: make _sure_ it mentions the _two_
flagella--I'd hate to shortchange any poster to this newsgroup, especially
those who've razed the level of wit and invective lately--and the way the
flagella appear to thrash out of synch, one in a groove and the other
spirally. The confusion is only apparent, not real: it aids their
microscopic filter feeding. But the lasting impression is still of a lot
of blind, pointless thrashing about.

Yes, well, there seem to be a lot of dinoflagellates in the waters at
present...
