It took them three years before they figured this out? The thing doesn't want to move. No, it has no interest in furthering science, because it's a sloth.

Isn't that the definition of sloth? Way to be true to yourself, Mats.

Maybe the scientist's should use that new heat thrower (I'm a technical wizard) that the military has been showing on the news.
