Hello Wonkeratti! It's time once again to expand your brains with Science, congest them with the lifeblood of learning and, finally, make them Turgid with Knowledge. Yes, it's time once again to disrupt the normal flow of Wonkette's daily Festival of Perfect Snark and Rudeness with these disturbing and bizarre Sci-Blog links. There seems to be an audience here for this sort of thing, though and we love you for it. The lengths that The Administration will go to please you Nerds never ceases to amaze me.
Scott Adams meets H.P. Lovecraft and Len Deighton (stealing from Charlie himself).
Have you read other Stross? It&#039;s pretty much all good. <i>Accelerando</i> is a nice introduction to his &quot;futurist&quot; style, although lacking tentacles. Does have crustaceans, though.
Good response, but it outlines the traditional paradigm which depends on space being an impermeable barrier to the transmission of life. Evidence to think that space prevents the dissemination of life has largely been refuted; in fact, it may be more correct to think that space, the interplanetary, interstellar, possibly even the intergalactic void, facilitate the dissemination of life. There is much peer-reviewed literature to support this notion, which the Cosmic Ancestry website is doing a good job of keeping currently cataloged. Of course, you&#039;re right to observe that the possible seeding of Earth with developed organisms early in its history doesn&#039;t address the question of biogenesis. That remains a fascinating conundrum, and the RNA world hypothesis is a good candidate explanation (maybe).
PS - Isn&#039;t it hard to dismiss the accumulating evidence from meteorites, especially the recent Polonorruwa findings?
I see the NewsHax jagoffs are still peddling their economic armageddon bullshit. Must be a tough sell with the stock market at an all time high, and unemployment dropping to the lowest point since Dumbya packed up and went home.
I&#039;ve been immunized by whoever referred to the Large Hairdo Collider way back when.
That&#039;s some Codex, that Apocalypse Codex.
Furries?
Crude oil: It&#039;s a food product, essentially.
Tom better watch his ass now.
But four out of ten only leaves two!
Internz haz brainz?
thank god the rolling stones are playing right now.

My only question about life on other planets is are they good eating or are they good at eating us?

It&#039;s easier to explore Uranus when it&#039;s tilted at an angle like that.

All the cool kids are now hip to the Cosmic Ancestry hypothesis, as it neatly accounts for the observed antiquity of life on Earth, and now comes with actual scientific evidence! <a href="http://www.panspermia.org/w..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.panspermia.org/whatsnew72.htm">http://www.panspermia.org/w...
