       Next up in the series, Les Panthères Terribles, in which Jean Cocteau bumbles about writing avant-garde fiction in the politically charged climate of mid-20th Century Europe whilst performing slapstick tomfoolery.

       Interestingly, if you cut the head off a planarian and allow both pieces to regenerate, both the new planaria retain the same memories as the original one. Whether this would work for accountants or HR staff is one of science's burning unanswered questions.

       It's worth trying. Of course, you'd need a statistically significant sample ... maybe 500,000 for the initial trial ?

       8th, wait! have you thought this through, please... imagine the risk of ending up with 2 x 500,000 HR or finance worms. Sad face.

       The trial specimens would of course all have to be euthanased at the end of the trial, for humanitarian reasons.   

       Or indeed as soon as convenient.
