@Steve Climaco: It's on the internet. I'd elaborate, but as the Zuckster already summarized it best with two words, I don't have to.

@bzr: that, I did not need to know.

@Purple Dave: We are basically agreeing, except on the rifling. (Since we're taking about cannon balls and shells, we're talking about an era while shells were still being developed and cannons were not rifled).

Why did I watch the video, before reading the text?

@Cleesox: yes. yes it does.

@Bustout: I look forward to meeting my evil twin. I plan to grow a goatee and then shave it off; then repeat each week. It will be fun to see how evil me reacts.

I have to call these biologists on their misappropriation of the word Fossil.

@FrequencySpike: Its not the re re re releasing that has me riled. It's that he's re releasing in (gasp) 3D!

@EtrnL_Frost: no the Hawking radiation is the energy escaping.

@Bustout: that's the one million 42 thousand dollar question, isn't it? No one can tell until we meet your naked faced twin.

@PlaidNinja: Ha! punny.

@Cleesox: no body knows for sure what will happen after the singularity (no not that computers become smarter than we are bushwa: the real divide by zero one).

@Thull: I think once you put explosives in them they stop being cannon balls and start being shells. though.

Thank you facebook for dragging me out of my shell, and then subliminally locking me into a new one.

@Brianfowler713: I was OK with the sense that things were slipping beyond control and cascading towards some kind of illogical apocalyptic train wreck. I even felt that it may have been deliberate.

Oh great I had plans tonight. I guess I can cancel those now.

@Srynerson: Should be low pressure.

So inverting one Gene makes a new species. What would happen if you inverted all Genes? Would you still have a normal flower, or some carnivorous little shop of horrors?

@ackthbbft: Pfft, this article was about future science, and everyone knows Luke lived in a Galaxy far far away and a long time ago. *rolls eyes*

@Ed Grabianowski: I now have the intro to that bloody song playing over and over in my mind. Thank you, thank you very much.
