Oh if you don't clean the lens on your fancy microscope you're liable to see all kinds of goofy things, Mister Scientist.

So how many millennia pass before this crude biological pioneer evolves into a highly complex entity such as Michele Bachmann?

Do you have permission from ClusterFox ("The WWF of News") to run this story? According to their website this is an exclusive.

I can't offer an opinion about the story itself because I don't know how it impacts the life and times of Sarah Palin. Until I hear from Duh Gov'Nuh, I just don't know what to think...

Okay, fine, your ancestors came to this country on an asteroid with 23 cents in their pockets, blah blah melting pot, blah blah primordial stew.

Being filamentous is all very nice, but the more important issue is when did this hypothesized "life" become cute, like babies, kittens, puppies, baby dolphins, wild mustangs, etc., and therefore precious and sacred? Once a life form has achieved cuteness, certain principles apply, and must be observed. Universally. Except maybe in Arizona.

Off topic, but your comment made me think of something. Just imagine the day when marijuana becomes a regular crop. I wonder if the local 4H club members will have the best of their crop on display at the county fair?

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."

Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: "Urrectum."
