I wonder at the possible implications for the solar generation industry and for the weight loss industry. "My *** is getting too big, guess I need to stay outta the sun for a while...."

A green sea slug appears to be part animal, part plant. It's the first critter discovered to produce the plant pigment chlorophyll.
The sneaky slugs seem to have stolen the genes that enable this skill from algae that they've eaten. With their contraband genes, the slugs can carry out photosynthesis — the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy.
