“I suspect that gullibility is a contagious disease.”

Yes, if I’m not mistaken its a particularly virulent form of bird flu that’s sweeping the globe, especially in coastal areas.

dictionary.com, Miriam-Webster and Wiktionary agree with me for sessile, but your right on Cryptzoic [well half right, because it is also another term for the Precambrian era, I assume the joke centring around the whole darkness thang..]

Oh boy, who said ignorance is bliss? Sessile means means slow moving as opposed to let’s say a cheetah. Cryptzoic means preferring dark, damp, cold places. Can someone show this person how to use a dictionary? Buy them one perhaps?

Doesn’t sessile mean “not able to move”, like oysters?
and isn’t “cryptozoic” just another name for the Precambrian era?

Are you trying to peddle fibs as fact by using big words?

so many questions, so little time…..

All of that shite about eating insects in your sleep is just that— SHITE!!!
Insects are sessile cryptozoic animals and would go almost anywhere except into a 37 degree centigrade human mouth, So there!!

Ya see, the problem is people will believe ANYTHING a scientist tells them, mainly because people never seem to understand what science people are saying and scientists just talk in big words and acronyms and wave about pages of graphs and statistics. It’s great…..

Did you know that they’ve taken the word gullible out of the dictionary? It’s true!
