"How these animals were capable of reviving their body after receiving a dose of UV radiation of more than 7000 kJm-2 under space vacuum conditions […] remains a mystery."

Hey, I was able to watch 20 minutes of "The View" once. Don't ask me how...

They look more like miniature manatees than bears. "Oh, the minuscule manatee!"

Maybe we can grow one big enough and make a space ship out of it. I have the seat next to the left ventricle nasal follicle. Symbiotics, the wave of the future.
