Transcript
- Evolution is funny.
- Generation after generation of Fillipods were naturally selected forr stalks capable of ever-stronger Van Der Waals forces. Basically, for reasons of diet.
- [Fillipod whistles]
- The Winter Tilla fruit has an amazing combination of protein, carbs, and vitamins... but has a tree bark that's glass-smooth, and impossible to climb.
- Fillipod: [thinks] (Dang.)
- Fillipod: [thinks] (Dang.)
- Hence the natural selection toward Van Der Waals forces: The Fillipods who could climb... could live to breed.
- Fillipod: Hey! Um, grab me one while you're up there?
- Fillipod: You're on your own, champ.
- It's an ability that's kept them alive for thousands of years.
- And, oddly enough, did so again when their planet was cracked in half... and every Tesskan alive was flung 30 meters in the air.
- Fillipod: [thinks] (Hey now)
Trivia
- Geckos and arthropods make use of Van der Waals forces[1] for climbing, much like the Fillipods.
