r. brought home these alien darkstar pods from the east. i forgot what they called them but they have several aliases. it's water caltrop, an invasive species of water chestnut from eurasia, not the kind to put in your salad, aka bat nut or devil pod. i'll show a close up in a mo. they look sinister and sexy. they make a real smart hood ornament for mister. they are light as feathers yet look like cast metal. still they seem benign, though i know they take over the aquatic realms. still when i think invasive species i think humans, not immigrants, or refugees, eminent domain, empirekind, divide and conquer, kill or be killed , ur invader, but you saw invasion of the body snatchers, it could happen, perhaps we came from darkstar pods like these.
