What do you call a fish with no eye ?...

Filet?
...or...
Invertebrate Echinoderm (though they are not really "fish")

You are pretty clever yourself, Murph.

Rufus, what a coincidence, that is the bus I am getting on this evening.

For years, I programmed the headsigns for the agency that I worked for.
A special sign for the visiting MBS:

Need a sign "Zombie Express" for the bus.

It might amuse you to know that Jim Seals and Dash Crofts (as in Seals and Crofts) were among the many members of the Champs.

Some more light reading from the library - do keep your eye on it...

Tonight, I learned a new word ( and concept) watching "Ancient Aliens Declassified, Otherworldly Evidence," S1 E82:

Speciate

Very interesting, especially when we consider the experiment of the USA having one of two identical twins staying in a low-gravity environment in space for a year, while his brother, the "control," remained on Earth . The result was, upon examination of his DNA once he was returned to Earth and comparing it to his twin, that genetic changes were found to have occurred to him on a cellular level, changing his body to being different from his brother's.

The question was presented, then, and certainly not rhetorically, whether humans who travel for extended periods of time away from the Earth's gravity and other environmental influences would evolve - Speciate into a new and different species.

That is interesting to contemplate, isn't it.

So once these space travel humans Speciate into a new and different species. They become the Aliens.

Followup comparisons showed most of the DNA reverted back to its original pattern over time. This has lead to a potentially false conclusion that long term exposure will not lead to debilitating mutations. While the subject was in "space", they were in low earth orbit and still shielded from most of the solar radiation by the earth's magnetosphere as well as the bulk shielding of the planet for about half the time. A six month trip to Mars followed by a six month trip back would result in much greater exposure and risk. Unless we can cut the trip time down to something more like six weeks Mars is pretty much off the table.
