Livers on the move

Greetings everyone. I wasn't sure if should send this item. It is rather
lurid, and I have no way of telling if it is true. But you can easily try it
and find out! I will quote from a letter published in the January 2000 issue
of the Fortean Times. The letter runs as follows:
"I've just learned a truly horrifying thing and one which I didn't
believe till I tried it myself. It was told to me by a work colleague, a keen
cook who wasn't at all amazed when he discovered it. Perhaps the best way
of experiencing the amazement I felt is to try it yourself in the following
manner: Take a good-sized piece of fresh liver and place it on your
kitchen work surface. Place a glass of milk about 10-20cm (4-8 inches) away.
Go away and do something else for 45 minutes. Upon your return you will
observe that the liver has crept a good distance toward the milk, leaving a
trail of blood! Its like something out of a horror movie.........."
The writer of the letter
then goes on to ask how the heck this could happen, such things as
osmosis/enzymes/diffusion not explaining the creeping mechanism . The writer
also states the theory/fact that cells can form multi-cellular organisms and
then come apart and operate individually. The writer also admits to having an
uneasy feeling thinking about hs internal organs. It could be a hoax. If I
had some fresh liver handy I guess I would try it. Let me know, anyone, if
it works. Oh by the way, Jerry, this ties in nicely with your bit on
telomeraise and livers.
