A Grape-Sized Single-Cell Organism

Trace fossils of the Cambrian Gromia sphaerica were recently discovered off the coast of the Bahamas. Although paleontologists had previously assumed that these were multicellular organisms, this particular set of fossils indicate that these giants -- up to 3 cm in diameter -- were single-celled.

I've heard that some Slime Molds exist as giant single cell organisms, so these might have acted similarly.

Otherwise, I'm not sure that I've heard of a viable single celled organism that's that large.

The problem is you're dating the wrong kind of anime girl. Forget the bipolar "Tsundere" girls (even though they're the best, <3 Eri Sawachika). Don't settle for the charming genki girl either (their shtick gets old fast). And never ever go for the bubbly airhead. Nuff said.

If you want the least complicated anime girl to date, just get the "Yamato Nadeshiko" girl, or even the so-called doormat like, say Aoi Sakuraba from Ai Yori Aoshi. Sure they are boring as heck, but they make up for it with total un-complication. (Yeah I'm a chauvinist. That's what watching too much harem anime for more than 20 years will do to you.)
