billcoe Posted June 15, 2009 Share 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....

KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 15, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 If it weren't for global warming or cooling, Sarah Palin would be shooting dinosaurs out of helicopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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?

Dechristo Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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".

Dechristo Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Sorry, Bug. Dung beetles can hope to be awakened (or, "Born Again",) to a low level of comprehension, only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted June 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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" ?!
