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.

And you thin the little whip-tails will understand that any better?

Understanding is probably not a function of the protozoan world,
though James Blish once suggested otherwise ("the seedling stars"). But I firmly believe every critter has its value or utility, though in some cases I'm damned if I can work out what that value or utility might be. Come to think of it, as we're dealing with waterborne critters here, perhaps their utility is a ford... -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- http://music.download.com/timfatchen http://www.ace.net.au/schooner katysails wrote: And you thin the little whip-tails will understand that any better?

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.] "Flying Tadpole" wrote in message ...

I'm impressed. It even reads like the Queen's English, as well
as making sense and being accurate. Are you _quite_ sure this is a US literary product? FT Scout wrote: But of course!

It's the American Heritage Dictionary. I think it's made in Japan.
