Just a lightning bolt hitting some primordial ooze, nothing to see here...

Here's a good one to ping.

Sounds like the babelfish: Proof of God proves there is not God. ;^>

We Toastmasters demand equal time with a Toastmasters' clock.

The atheists' "living jelly" ping.

They later evolved into digital clocks, but until they evolved solar panels, the batteries died quickly and they kept flashing 12:00.

[Larry Lucido]

Oh, and until they evolved separate knobs for the volume control, they kept oversleeping.

about 10 billionths of a meter tall.

Msut be a real pain to reset something so small for daylight savings time :-)

I still haven't seen a satisfactory explantion for the pointed tetrahedral apex in the honeycomb where the displacement is approximately 35% of the length of the side of the hexagon (this results in a local minimum on the area). Bees doing calculus just doesn't cut it for me.

Whoops! I thought it said "Rotary clock discovered in Bactria" (ancient hellenistic kingdom). Like that unusually advanced bronze mechanical gizmo salvaged from an ancient greek shipwreck.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.

Wonder how this could apply to big, complex multicellular life forms, like ourselves, fr'instance.

[TXBubba]

Can someone interpret this in plain english?

[jtminton]

This is going to be good example material the next time my stepson comes home late. "You lost track of time?!?! Even BACTERIA can keep time!"

This is my final proof that Intelligent Design is real science. Clearly, the bacteria were designed by intelligent beings from outer space who, in turn, are very simple, but super intelligent silicone-based life-forms living in a superconducting sea powered by high intensity magnetic fields. They have no moving parts and are therefore simple enough to have evolved from nonliving things. It's not the creation that evolved; it was the creator.

Prove me wrong scientifically.

a universal enzyme known as a rotary motor.

I suppose this is a Wankel enzyme.

Good question. I see the earths living ecosystem as a bunch of stuff all made from the same leggo set. Discovering something about a small thing made from just a few thousand bricks (like bacteria) could give us a better understanding of things made from significantly more bricks, and brick types.
