I love how it was found in a massively polluted lake beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 05:35:22 PM

Dang. I thought it was naturally occurring. Missed the part where it was grown in a lab. Gher - 03/12/2010 02:16:16 AM 734 Views
The answer to your question is: Pretty damn cool. *NM* Nate - 02/12/2010 05:33:54 PM 405 Views

So, is it an alien? Lordling - 02/12/2010 07:19:49 PM 742 Views
I don't see why it couldn't be natural LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 07:22:49 PM 650 Views
They haven't mentioned anything saying it's not from Earth, I think beetnemesis - 02/12/2010 08:03:44 PM 750 Views
It was funded by NASA, I think Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 08:15:15 PM 787 Views
lols. *NM* LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 08:17:40 PM 379 Views
The bacteria in question is part of a known lineage Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 08:07:34 PM 961 Views
see my note below LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 08:13:35 PM 753 Views
Maybe Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 08:23:16 PM 679 Views
it could be there are some in the lake naturally LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 09:00:42 PM 648 Views
Huh! I must have missed that part. *NM* Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 09:05:15 PM 358 Views
No it isn't! snoopcester - 02/12/2010 07:39:34 PM 735 Views
I really didn't understand that, either. jh - 04/12/2010 10:44:51 AM 770 Views
So, apparently, this bacteria doesn't use arsneic for its DNA in its natural state? LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 08:06:02 PM 634 Views
While awesome, it's a bit of a problem. Ghavrel - 02/12/2010 09:04:22 PM 652 Views
Re: While awesome, it's a bit of a problem. TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 10:34:34 PM 597 Views
True, but I'm not "looking for" anything in particular, so I just like it *NM* LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:09:21 PM 406 Views
It's interesting, but not completely shocking BlackAdder - 02/12/2010 08:08:46 PM 821 Views
Less cool a revelation than I was hoping, but certainly not a complete disappointment. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 10:35:33 PM 362 Views
I don't understand why this is such a big deal. It always seemed common sense to me that there are Tashmere - 02/12/2010 10:40:22 PM 787 Views
I think it just makes them happy that they can widen the parameters for life-sustaining planets. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 11:00:31 PM 347 Views
yah. it's one thing to theorize, another thing to find something to hold true. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:10:23 PM 667 Views
It's much more than an educated guess. Dreaded Anomaly - 02/12/2010 11:59:18 PM 822 Views

obviously you have not learned to look at the back label on the car *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/12/2010 07:04:42 PM 354 Views
Yes, we can. Dreaded Anomaly - 04/12/2010 06:04:48 PM 983 Views
The problem probably is with me. Tashmere - 04/12/2010 08:00:56 PM 642 Views
No, they aren't. Dreaded Anomaly - 04/12/2010 10:01:25 PM 661 Views
Depends on how you view evidence, no? Nate - 05/12/2010 04:50:11 AM 884 Views
There are correct and incorrect ways to view evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 05/12/2010 05:42:41 AM 604 Views
