Awesome
"The carnivore likely fatally injured itself while trying to consume the enormous meal."
Reminds me of:
Worth a crack Nigel.
Nigel???

“It’s not a smoking gun,” said study co-author David Clements, an Imperial College of London astrophysicist. “It’s not even gunshot residue on the hands of your prime suspect, but there is a distinct whiff of cordite in the air which may be suggesting something.”

@taniwharugby so three astronomers get on the piss and decide to search the galaxy for farts?
WTF were they drinking?

@taniwharugby so going on an earth timeline the atmosphere of Venus should be good for human habitation in about 3 Billion years

Mathematics proves you can go back in time and kill your Gran'pappy and not affect your future self!

I think someone forgot to carry the one. If you kill the person responsible for providing you your DNA, how do you exist to kill the person..?

@antipodean basically history finds a way to make it work. Yeah makes no sense to me either

I think they were trying to say the alternative timeline thing with that whiteboard session with Doc?
Makes your head hurt if you think too much on time travel stuff anyways

Explains a few people I’ve encountered over the years

I thought Neanderthals and Denisovans were separate species. If they can interbreed and produce offspring, isn't that the definition of the same species?
Horses and donkeys can breed and produce offspring. They are different species......
So can zebras and donkeys, creating the best portmanteau ever: zebronkey
There’s records of a tahr and a goat crossbreeding , not sure what you call them .
tahr-brushed goats?

I listened to the above podcast with an Australian biologist. He seems overly confident on what is possible in the future. He claims that our cells have a DNA recipe that tell the cell what to do. As we age the recipe gets a type of plaque which causes errors in the recipe which often leads to eye disease and a range of issues when aging.
They have found a way to reset the cells recipe to its original form, they have mice who go blind, they then inject the healthy recipe into the eye and use some sort of antibiotic to trigger the new recipe. The eye then repairs itself back to how it was when it was healthy. He believes in theory if you know the recipe you could reset the entire human body over and over.
My immediate thought was we could keep resetting the Goat and DC over and over. You would end up with one amazing fucking AB's team.
Obviously loads of questions arise from this technology and I assume the repairing of organs will be the first step. But you would imagine a huge demand from the wealthy if you could somehow reset your aging body to be 25 forever.

ScarJo and Ewan did this already in The Island, albeit using a 3rd party body.
Certainly modern medicine seems to indicate its possible to grow organs.
Its the implications of that, that are terrifying

Me! It should be banned, fkn waste of time and energy!
Maybe I should put this in the grumpy fluffybunnies thread, Summer Time/DST annoys the crap out of me
