I'm designing a custom strain of bacteria that I can put in a lake in Arizona. It will take in trash and spit out oil and metal. This is what I have so far:

why would you split them up into groups of 5?
Man, I aint no fancy smancy genetic engineer. I'm doing this is my basement. I'll split up my base pairs however I want.
They have an interview on bbc.co.uk with Venter, and the woman leans forward to indicate that she's a hard-charging anchor asking the tough questions and asks "Let's get this out of the way right away - Are you playing God" and first off, Venter gives her a look that says "That is the stupidest possible question" and then rattles off a whole thing about ethical studies performed over a decade and how it's basically all already been decided that this is ok and etc etc without really dignifying her question with a real answer.

While this is certainly the better way to handle it, the spiteful dick in me would love for him to have leaned forward, said "Yes", then crossed his arms and sat back with a :smugface:

yeah, we have the ability to extinguish all life a few times over into an unsustainable fucked to death pile of glassed dirt
if it was going to happen it would've already happened a whole shitton of times
If I could lime this any harder, I would.
except his first premise is false

Well saying "we have the ability to make the earth temporarily unable to sustain the current population of humans and other megafauna..." doesn't sound as good.

if i ever get to the point where i am asked this question in an interview: I promise you that this will be my response
I am saying it right now, and you can hold me to it.
If, at any point in my scientific career, I am asked if I am "playing god" I will either A. Respond with a smug "yes" or B. Cackle maniacally
I honestly can't comprehend people who eat good food and it makes them "gag"
like, actually want to vomit
I'm just "it's not the flavour and it's not that it's from a part of the animal that you do not eat, it's that you are psyching yourself out by convincing yourself it's gross even before you've tried it"
and people like that piss me off
it is probably one of the main reasons I broke things off with my ex
I cannot eat steamed carrots, they make me gag, regular carrots are just fine for some reason
Actually I don't really like steamed vegetables at all, give me fresh ones instead
Also the smell of fried mushrooms is probably the only scent that has ever pushed me to the brink of throwing up
like there are some lines that we weren't meant to cross, and this is definitely one of them
this kind of stuff really should be something that the people get to vote on whether this research continues, since we all have to deal with the consequences when something goes horribly wrong
at one point in time
people thought that fire crossed that line
fuck those people
these lines are arbitrarily set by members of a group of people either too stupid or too ignorant to see the necessity for progress.
Of course this doesn't mean any risks should be ignored.
But please.
People having to vote on this? Imagine how stupid the average person is, then remember that about a half is dumber. The tyranny of the ass-backwards minority can go suck it.

Satans..... hints.....
eats a thing of rice with vegetables and he's all "I don't think I can do this I kinda wanna throw up"
does the same thing when my friends invite us to dinner and it's pork chops and veggies
and I'm all
are you fucking serious
then I stayed with him for 6 more months before I called it off

Just wanted to say I like this a lot, thanks for sharing.
Makes me want to play Civ IV really really badly.
