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."

    Damn stright. I'd like to see the media ignore that one, as Israeli tanks encircle the City.

    Did you notice the quote by some Isreali minister, after the attack? Something about this being the first real test of the new Palestinian Government, and that they had failed it. Of course, the new Palestinian Government had only been sworn in two fucking hours before it happened
    Isreal have no intentions of a peaceful resolution with Palestine.

    Let's make slashdot mods eat a fistful of them every time they posts a dupe :-) That would be a geeky punishment - being forced to eat space worms.
