[Wonderful Labs] A carnivorous plant named ping

[Wonderful Labs]

This is the Phantom Messenger Service with a fresh alert from the World
Watchwire:  Freeze-dry your underpants!  No fewer than three
Answer-Laden Query beasts have escaped from Wonderful Laboratories over
the weekend, yet no one knows where they've got to.  Last seen heading
for this address, the beasts were known to be genetically-imagineered
with smarm and vocabulary as the bulk of their substance.

	"It's really quite odd," said a Wonderful Labs spokesmonkey.  "We
released one around 4 AM on Saturday.  When it hadn't arrived after 10
hours, we sent out a Penguin to see if the route was clear.  Our next
scheduled release was 4 AM Sunday, which we made, even though the
Penguin was also feared lost.  Sunday afternoon, the Penguin appeared,
but not the Idea Pet sent before or after.  3 AM Monday we made our next
delivery, also MIA.  The Tarzans over in administration are in a
feces-frenzy, let me tell you."
