Huge Single-Cell Organisms Found
Usually, single-cell organisms are too small to be seen with the naked eye. But Gromia sphaerica seems to be a nifty exception to the rule. These suckers can get to the size of a grape?! They were discovered on the ocean floor near the Bahamas. (via mefi) Apparently these are not the only giant protists (see Xenophyophores)
