True that they don't have to be alive to be analyzed in some respect, but they do if they want to characterize. I can't imagine that it would be easy to extract enough DNA for sequencing from these cells without culturing them.

Thank you, sir. My ancestors are relatives of Ernest Shackleton, and also attempted a voyage to the South Pole prior to Ernest's expedition. Turns out, they didn't bring sufficient rations. Only snacks really. The family name was changed to Snackleton in shame, and Ernest Shackleton's ship was named in the spirit of…

Haha, dude got pwned. Also, the the story on This American Life is one of the best I've heard on that program.

Sounds like my ex-wife back when I lived in Orange County.

This is cool and all, but one thing I've always disliked about using the Xbox 360 as a media center is that the fan is so damn loud. You have to have your speakers fairly loud to drown out the Xbox.

This is one way that speciation occurs. An original population migrates to a new area, food is scarce for a few years, there's a disease that wipes out a large percentage of the population, etc. Eventually the changes from the original population are too great to allow for reproduction of viable offspring.
