In this day in history...

[msfledermaus]

...2 billion years ago a bacterial reef concentrated and metabolized enough uranium-235 to accidentally create the world's first atomic pile. The natural reactor burned itself to death, went nuclear and fossilized itself for future discovery off the West African Coast....

(Unlike most of my "In this day in History"s, this one is actually true...isn't science fun?)

Good morning!!!

Good morning!
*busy busy busy*
Be back later....

I think later you still have something funny for me?

(When you get time, of course.)

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! J and I had some fun that I think you'd find amusing back in my Britney Spears post.

I could see you spinning plates and telling jokes:)

bet you could use some accompaniment....on accordion!

That would be perfect!!

*Plays horribly on accodrion to the spinning and joke-telling*

I think that the tripping, burping and farting is more entertaining. 8~D

Maybe I can make the accordion burp...

*tries a few keys*

**BEEEELCH!*

Wow, cool!

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

How do you know whether your accordian is burping or farting?

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Ummm...I don't smell any baked beans...:)

Re:

[cynnerth.livejournal.com]

And your playing doesn't stink either.... ;)

Re:

That's a matter of opinion, I guess:)

J's run away...we have no audience!!!

that's kinda cool

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

Yeah...the same kind of bacterial reefs are now on the Titanic, eating it up.
(It's where I read about the nuclear thing)

The really cool/potentially scary thing is that we've got sunken nuclear subs
with plutonium aboard...and there's a small chance the same reefs will eventually try to *metabolize* it someday if we don't clean up the wrecks...(This would be probably centuries, but still!)

Hi there, you...
