Each instance has its own rate of oozing, so some are faster than others. It

make a demo if you're hard up!  :-)

Cool. I opened up 6 of them and they are having a race across the screen.

[Norton, Chris]  And... they are even cooler when you hide their handles!
Try changing their stepTime to 1.  Funky...  This thing looks like it
belongs in a Lava Lamp (TM).  Thanks Dave!  Any chance that you'll improve
them so that they can absorb other morphs that they ooze over in the world
(like the real Blob)?  :-)

I have to say... on my 266 Windoze NT box, these guys really slow down my
Morphic.  Although I will admit that 2.7 seems to be much more responsive
than 2.6.  Some parts seem downright snappy!  Thanks Andreas & co. if you're
lurking on this note!
