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!!!

Be back later....

that's kinda cool

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...

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

Maybe I can make the accordion burp...

**BEEEELCH!*

Wow, cool!

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