PERIPATUS

Peripatus is a genus of arthropods which in external appearance resemble millipedes or caterpillars. The colouring is varied, but in life the skin has usually a velvety appearance. The head bears two long antennae, at the base of which the eyes are placed. The mouth is ventral, and contains two roofed jaws. At the sides of the mouth there are a pair of processes known as the oral papillae, from which slime oozes. The animals are equipped with between seventeen and forty-two walking legs, which are imperfectly jointed, and end in two small claws. There are numerous species found in South Africa, Australasia and the Malay Archipelago where they live among decaying wood and under stones feeding at night on insects and spiders caught in the slime they emit.

BLACK BARON

Black Baron was the alias of one Christopher Pile, an English man born in 1969, who in the mid-1990's wrote a series of computer viruses employing an advanced polymorphic technique he called 'SMEG'. In all three variants of SMEG were developed and distributed; Pathogen, Queeg and Smeg 3.. After leaving school at the age of sixteen with a handful of CSE's and a burning desire to be a commercial airline pilot he learned to drive, passed his driving test and settled down to several years unemployed. After reading Ross M Greenberg's comments about computer virus authors, which was very scathing and critical of people who write computer viruses, describing them as 'slime buckets' and challenging them to write a virus that he couldn't disarm, the Black Baron decided to take up the challenge and produce a computer which would spread widely, and which would be immune to Mr Greenberg's anti-virus software. The
Black Baron was subsequently arrested and sentenced to eighteen months in jail.

LIMONITE

Limonite is the hydrated oxide of iron. It never occurs crystallised, but in fibrous, earthy, stalactitic mammillary, porous, or concretionary masses, and often as pseudomorphs formed by the weathering of other minerals such as pyrites or marcasite. It is black or brown in colour and the streak or fine powder is yellow, distinguishing it from haematite. It has a relative hardness of 5. 5. Impure limonite is found in moorland clay soils and also in meadows and bogs in spongy nodules, and is hence known as bog iron ore. In fresh-water lakes it is often deposited as a brownish slime by the action of plants on the ferrous carbonate and in Sweden and Norway this lake ore is periodically collected by raking the bottom of the shallow pools. Earthy
limonite, or limonite mixed with clay is known as yellow ochre.

SLIME

Slime is the name applied to that portion of crushed ore which, owing to its impalpable and minutely divided state and the presence of colloidal substances, settles very slowly from water, forming an impervious mass.
