Buckyballs Kill Fish
An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post (free registration, not too invasive) has a disturbing article on a new study of the environmental dangers of nanotech. Buckyballs caused "severe" brain damage in largemouth bass when added to their aquariums in concentrations of 0.5 ppm, a concentration level on par with common US pollutants. They also caused die-offs of Daphnia, waterfleas that are a crucial part of the ocean food chain. "The new findings are somewhat surprising because many scientists had predicted that buckyballs would not linger in water but would quickly form clumps and sink." The findings have yet to be peer-reviewed."

Real Ultimate Power
Hi, this site is all about buckyballs, REAL BUCKYBALLS. This site is awesome. My name is Robert and I can't stop thinking about buckyballs. These molecules are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.
Facts:
1. Buckyballs are carbon.
2. Buckyballs poison living animals ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the buckyball is to flip out and kill fish.

Testimonial:
Buckyballs can kill anyone they want! Buckyballs kill off fish ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These molecules are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this buckyball who was eating at a diner. And when some fish dropped a spoon the buckyball killed the whole school. My friend Mark said that he saw a buckyball totally uppercut some guppy just because the fish opened a window.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe that buckyballs have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will give you severe brain damage!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
Buckyballs are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These molecules are totally awesome and that's a fact. Buckyballs are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can't wait to start football next year. I love buckyballs with all of my body (including my pee pee).
Q and A:.
Q: Why is everyone so obsessed about buckyballs?
A: Buckyballs are the ultimate paradox. On the one hand they are shaped like footballs, but on the other hand, buckyballs are very careful and precise.
Q: I heard that buckyballs are always toxic or dangerous. What's their problem?
A: Whoever told you that is a total liar. Just like other molecules, buckyballs can be dangerous OR totally awesome.
Q: What do buckyballs do when they're not killing fish or flipping out?
A: Most of their free time is spent polluting waterways, but sometime they bounce. (Ask Mark if you don't believe me.)
This is a picture of my best friend Mark bending it like Beckham.
He's a lot older than me and almost done with puberty, which is bragable.
Some more pictures of the dangers of buckyballs are available here.
I love the wheres-waldo posts, you know the ones I mean, where they give you some oddball word, say "Buckyballs".. then they say "It's going to surely be the end of the world, these damn Buckyballs.." of course, with no links with a picture or a quick rundown of said object.. Bowkillmore's are the next big thing in Falgiimorie!
thinking buckyballs were some new kind of superlure for fishing :-/
We played dungeons and dragons for 3 hours.....then i was slain by an elf
You fuckin moron, that's the funniest thing I've read in the past week!
If this were Clinton, you guys would be talking about how technological he is.
This broadband initiative benefits EVERYONE. You are partisan and blind if you do not see it.
Meanwhile, in Russia; fishy killers without bucks have no balls!

I don't know who the hell this Bucky is, but I think I've found his website.
In order to verify the claim that a fish tank test is valid, I suggest that every slashdotter piss in a fish tank (or a neighbors if you don't own one.) Then, report your results back to slashdot on the next SCO or Microsoft article. Perhaps then we'll know the truth!
