If you did manage by some mystery of science to create one any larger than they are now it would probably die, restrictions in cell size, body size and organ size due to water loss, diffusion and active uptake means that surface area to volume ratios must be kept in a certain range or the poor little thing would just die :-( but if you do manage to get a big one going... dont keep it a secret! lol!MCSharpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-70155032454985402692007-10-26T11:30:00.000-07:002007-10-26T11:30:00.000-07:00Why are you boiling me?!
