Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species

Posted by timothy on from the does-not-count-the-hollow-earth-creatures dept.

GBC writes "AFP is reporting that, as of a week ago, the number of creatures in the "Spore" database exceeded the number of known species on Earth. They are created using 'Creature Creator,' which is available in a free (with limited parts) or paid download at the Spore website. Will Wright seems extremely happy with the progress so far: 'We hit 100K in 22 hours and a million by the end of the first week. The numbers are just blowing us away.'"

      Have you ever seen pictures of ANWR? I should say picture, without the s, because one picture says it all. Most of the 20million acres is just that, barren tundra. Drilling for oil would use maybe a few thousand acres at most. All you psycho environuts need to start putting things into perspective.
