@ddjeffries: Actually, this experiment is a strong case FOR evolution. After doing some fact checking on real science websites, I learnt that this article is completely misleading. Nothing alien has been found. What scientists did was take an existing bacteria on Earth, replaced from its DNA one of the essential…

@waht: Santa is....

@raveseer: I was also initially misled by it. I've had the New Scientist and Pop Science RSS feeds that I rarely check, but I finally found a reason to read some articles after reading this one. It totally burst my bubble. :(

@coirbidh: Yeah, that's what I meant by putting the word in double quotes, for lack of a better word at that time. :P

Okay, the title is misleading. After reading articles on the New Scientist and Popular Science websites, I've learnt that this is a "manufactured" bacteria. Scientists just forced an existing bacteria on Earth to swap phosphorus with arsenic in it's DNA. NASA just stepped in and said there is a larger implication to…

A robotic-dental-surgeon-playmate? My fantasy for the night is complete.

@rjtemple: Well, she does appear to be robotic...

Why not go for strong encryption of data on the magnetic strip of the cards?

@Dave Marseilles: You'd nobly return those nickels back as donation to fund their scientific studies? :D

@ddjeffries: I see your point, God could've created ALL forms of life in the Universe. But how is this another nail in the coffin for evolution?

I was trying to aim that at the fundamentalists who went to the extent of saying that God put dinosaur skeletons underground to test our faith in Him, but they obviously don't stand for the entire…

I wonder what the Church's take is on this.

@sneakypoo: Maybe it was one of those scentless, traceless murders like the one from Insomnia.

If they're planning to provide high-speed broadband for free, this might actually be a good reason to move to one of these poor countries. Atleast for me.

@dagwud: Or maybe 4G+/4GX/4GS.

@brijazz:

@\m/ chaosphere \m/: How did you manage to take your eyes off that awesome chestiness??

So are we going to get paid for this by getting to spend a night with his girlfriend?

Hooray for the TSA crew!

@MattyMattMatt: Ah, I see. I'm definitely trying flashblock because this is getting rather annoying. I like to open multiple lifehacker/gawker/gizmodo pages from my RSS feed, and you can imagine how annoying it can get because most of these pages have some flash content in them.
