	Now, this method of eating, of just kind of passively waiting for food to come to you would have been facilitated by the body plan of these rangeomorphs. Now, you need lots of surface area, it needs to be maximized so that you could absorb the food that just happens to impact you. So fractal shapes are awesome for that.

	S: The next news item is a very quick update. We've talked before about {{w\|cervical manipulation}} and {{w\|Dissection (medical)\|dissections}}. A dissection is basically a tear on the inside of an artery. When that happens, a {{w\|Thrombus\|clot}} could form there, which could either block blood flow to the {{w\|artery}}, or the clot could go downstream, lodge, and cause a {{w\|stroke}}. So, they're very dangerous. They can cause strokes, even death.		S: The next news item is a very quick update.
