Iron-eating Bug Found to Thrive in 121C Heat
shobadobs writes "A story in the Independent reports that a microorganism appropriately referred to as 'Strain 121' has been found capable of thriving, with its colony size doubling, at a heat of 121 degrees Celsius, eight degrees more than the previously recorded maximum temperature that an organism can survive. This deep-sea volcanic vent creature was found on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and it feeds off of iron." Luckily it's only a microorganism. At first glance I thought scientists might have discovered a real-life rust monster.
How can BSD be dying when it has a mascot like this?! Linux needs to get its act together if it's going to compete with the kind of hot chicks and gorgeous babes that BSD has to offer!
You just can't take Linux seriously when its fronted by losers like these. You Linux groupies need to find some sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she make you hard? I know this little hottie floats my boat! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little cock teaser. Even this old bearded Unix guru is apparently unable to take his eyes off her!
With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you will have people queuing up to buy open source products. Look! This guy can't get in there fast enough with her in the doorway! Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin! Don't you wish you could get one of these? Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!
"In the Soviet Union, our iron-eating overlords goatse all your base with dead *BSD!"
There, I think that covers all of the troll/offtopic cliches.
It's a simpsons reference from when homer is up in the space shuttle and breaks the ant colony experiment. An ant floats in front of the camera and Kent Brockman thinks that giant ants have taken over the space shuttle. He says that line.
Futurama.
"its' small size would prevent it from doing much immediate damage."
What if he has a brother?
and for the first time, a score of: -1 Informative makes sense.

Three Kenyan-born Arabs were shot 6 minutes ago in Mombasa Kenya.The police
aledges them of stealing money, but no confirmation yet. This is a report
from a witness in the scene and there is a discussion going on right now
on IRC (some of the writers are in an internet cafe a few blocks from the
scene.)
More on the story as it develops.
