Description
The gang discusses three papers that detail some truly unique examples of morphological convergence; from brachiopods that look like corals to bovids with dinosaurian nasal crests. Also, James designs some conspicuous Mario levels, Amanda wins an argument that "never happened", Curt is excluded from a business venture, and everything comes back to Zardoz.
