catbirdseat Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Microbe Awakens The thing I don't understand is how this can be when the world is only 4,000 years old. Quote
billcoe Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Wait till they bring back some ice samples from Mars and the SFTF! Probably make the accident killer bee release and Escherichia coli look like small pile of dog poop on the lawn. Well, if it was a B rated Sci fi movie anyway.... Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Microbe Awakens The thing I don't understand is how this can be when the world is only 4,000 years old. If it weren't for Global Warming this new species would never have been discovered. THANK YOU GLOBAL WARMING! Quote
olyclimber Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 If it weren't for global warming or cooling, Sarah Palin would be shooting dinosaurs out of helicopters. Quote
AlpineK Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I heard something on the news saying that scientist could extract the dinosaur part of the DNA stored in chickens. Maybe in 20 years Sarah Palin will be hunting dinosaurs out of the Alaska State helicopter. Don't fuck with chickens Are you chicken? Quote
Dechristo Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Microbe Awakens The thing I don't understand is how this can be when the world is only 4,000 years old. Orders of ignorance is arguable (witness: Kevbone), but the resultant biases, which occur in everyone, will always leave you red-faced. You may well have found yourself in the clatch that discounted Monsignor Georges Lemaître. The bacteria is an interesting find. Though, the microbe may not have been "asleep" to be "awakened". Quote
Bug Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 God created it on the spot. Dumbass. Get a clue. But Jesus still loves you. Quote
Dechristo Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Sorry, Bug. Dung beetles can hope to be awakened (or, "Born Again",) to a low level of comprehension, only. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I wouldn't mind listening to Jesus on Sundays if he'd spin something worth listening to. Microbes have survived up to 7 years on the outside of an orbital spacecraft, too. Don't fuck whichem. Quote
Bug Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Ha! Born again? Your labels are as tired as your superiority complex. We will feast on your rotting flesh. Humble thyself before the mighty Dung Beetle. Quote
Bug Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Its not Sundays that count. Keep on clicking that shutter and tell me there is nothing there but atoms and particles. Or are you into string theory? Quote
G-spotter Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 String theory is so 20th century. It's M-theory now dumbass. That or LQG. Quote
minx Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 i just wanna know why the damn thing over-slept. come on...120,000 years .... thats a lot of time hittin "snooze" Quote
ivan Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 spending a 120,000 years asleep would sure solve a lot of my financial problems - maybe i'd even be able to grow a beard by the end of my nap? Quote
Bug Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 String theory is so 20th century. It's M-theory now dumbass. That or LQG. "However, some scientists have questioned the tangible successes of M-theory given its current incompleteness, and limited predictive power, even after so many years of intense research." "LQG" ?! That's just loopy. Quote

bstach Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 The thing I don't understand is how this can be when the world is only 4,000 years old. Rounding error? Quote
olyclimber Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Is this microbe complaining about sport climbing? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 No, it complained about kevbone... yeah, it expected that life would have evolved more in 120,000 years, but Kevbone negates that expectation Quote
kevbone Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 No, it complained about kevbone... yeah, it expected that life would have evolved more in 120,000 years, but Kevbone negates that expectation Hell yes.....I negate. Woot woot....... :rawk: :fahq: :[] Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Its not Sundays that count. Keep on clicking that shutter and tell me there is nothing there but atoms and particles. Or are you into string theory? From simplicity, complexity. Makes sense to me. Quote
G-spotter Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 This thread could truly use some atoms and particles. Quote
