Live Worms Found in Columbia Wreckage

Posted by michael on from the now-we-just-need-some-tequila dept.

Scoria writes "CNN is reporting that hundreds of live worms, fourth or fifth generation descendents of the subjects of a scientific experiment conducted aboard Columbia, have been discovered amongst the shuttle wreckage. The worms, C. elegans , share many biological characteristics with humans and are the size of a pencil tip."

    They share brain size with an average slashdot reader, and also, how attractive they are to (human) females. :)

    Read the fucking article, jackass. Or even the fucking writeup. If you'd bothered to read so, you'd notice it was the fourth or fifth generation of the worms used in the experiments. The worms weren't even eggs then. You might have noticed if you'd read the fucking article instead of making an ass of yourself trying to get the first post. Better luck next time, loser. And if you're going to try to get the first post, just fucking claim it already and don't try to actually comment on the damned article. Ugh, faggots like you make me sick. Now piss off.

    You're right: you're no expert.

    Nice post. Did you put more than six seconds of thought into it? Are you stupid, or just hoping to get a post in quickly so someone as stupid as you moderates it up?

    Add to this the fact that your grammar is at the level of a fourth grader, and I must conclude that you're one dumb motherfucker. Kill yourself and make the world a better place, you worthless sack of shit. I'll make you eat your parents.
