In other words, the newscaster slig knows that he is actually addressing mudokons, so if he wanted to, he could add subliminar messages without being perceived by the Glukkon censorship.

Thanks Lampion! Actually, this was something I had meant to mention. The News Slig KNOWS his audience, therefore his words and actions toward them are even MORE improtant.
Also,
I see we have some great views on aquatic vs. arboreal slig theories. Wow! I'd never even thought of what sligs' natural environment was...
Seems to me like they would be capable of both. Certainly they could survive in the water, but I can just see them in little tree nests, too!
These are some cool debates! Let me throw in a question for y'all (I'm curious):
--
Depending on which theory you hold to be true, what difficulties/advantages do you think sligs have fitting into their corporate environment today?
--
What do you think? I think sligs must miss being able to jump, if they had once been able to in the wild. Of course since they go from womb to work they may not have such a strong instinctual sadness as if they had themselves (individually) ever been wild.

PinkHaired,
I think the newscaster is funny too, but given the Inhabitants' love of humor, I think that would serve more as a PLUS to his being involved in further developement (and likely heroism)!
I think I had my biologists brain wired in that day...)
