It is possible Homo sapiens may have been one of these.
My intuitions are correct. We are a race of genetically damaged mutants. An accident. An evolutionary blotch. A rent in the cosmic fabric. Never meant to be. An affront to nature; an outrage to the gods.

What's to believe? It's just another theory, but this one has some science data behind it. Explain the iron-60 deposits some other way.

Cool. We must now conquer the galaxy like some vile cancer.

an outrage to the gods

The gods can speak for themselves. Some of them seem a bit peeved. Thor, for example, crashing clouds together all the time. What's up with that?

It's 'one louder' than iron-59.

... Explain the iron-60 deposits some other way ...
Would love to. But no time. I'm still working on those crop circles and cattle mutilations and alien abductions.

And those are our good qualities ;)

This is most interesting, but it's too "local" to have a bearing on any of the various anthropic principles.

I have no idea what that means.

I don't golf, but if an Iron-9 is the closest iron to a putter in the normal golf bag...
Wouldn't an Iron-60 make the ball go backwords when you swung at it?
