Glass-Eating Microbes

JoeyPea writes "Researchers have found that volcanic glass (super-cooled lava) in the ocean's upper crust is eaten by microbes. The researchers found tiny tubular tunnels bored through the rock. The breakdown of volcanic rock was thought to be a chemical/physical process, but now it obviously has a biological component."

    I'm more interested in cock-eating vixens than glass eating microbes!

    Judas Priest - Some Heads are Gonna Roll

    You can look to the left and
    Look to the right
    But you will live in danger tonite
    When the enemy comes he will
    Never be heard
    He'll blow your mind and not say a word
    Blinding lights--flashing colors
    Sleepless nights
    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll

    The power-mad freaks who are
    Ruling the earth
    Will show how little they think you're worth
    With animal lust they'll
    Devour your life
    And slice your word to bits like a knife
    One last day burning hell fire
    You're blown away
    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll

    Know what it's like
    When you're taken for granted
    There goes your life
    It's so underhanded
    If the man with the power
    Can't keep it under control

    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
    Some heads are gonna roll
