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.'"

    AC ignoring the fact that polar bears aren't going extinct at all, nor the fact that scientists don't know whether changes to their will end up killing them or not(existence in non-climate controlled zoos tends to suggest otherwise but is no guarantee) as well as ignoring that the ban on DDT as a mosquito repellent(not the ban on using it to protect crops) has killed the most children in poor countries each year - Fucking hilarious.
