I wish.

The Sheriffs report called us “A bunch of drunken louts”

I looked and looked at the globe, and I just can’t find Lout.

I think it’s near Finland.

[EEGator]

I’ve met some drunken louts before.
We must have mutual friends.

[blueunicorn6]

Maybe we’re related!

Do any of your relatives have three nostrils?

[Track9]

Can we make beer with it?

[Getready]

Microbes is such a non specific term. Were they bacteria, or parasites, or fungi? Or a mycoplasma? How did they know it was not eating or slowly multiplying while down there. We already know there are organisms living IIRC 2 to 3 miles below the surace of dry land.

Wonder what a 100 million-year-old person would look like. Imagine all the experiences that person would have collected in all those years.

We need to study those 100 million-year=old microbes, in order to attain that long-sought-after eternal life.

It’s 2020. Is this a good idea?

[BenLurkin]

Probably not.

[Cobra64]

Well, that’s a relief.

Coincidentally, there are few if any indications of rigorous mathematical reasoning prior to that 2k BC demarcation.

I have to wonder if any of these fools have seen “Jurassic Park” or “The Andromeda Strain”. Geez.

As if the newer ones aren’t nasty enough?

Look for any bank savings accounts they may have forgotten about. One penny invested at 1 percent annual interest rate for 100 million years would be worth more dollars today than there are atoms in the universe.

Nothing wrong could possibly happen here... I mean bacteria aren't big, like a T-Rex that might eat you... What could possibly happen if a microscopic bacteria, or say, a virus, might somehow get out of a lab?

Not a chance!

The IRS would have found it by now, and distributed the funds for a million more government programs, including reparations for all blacks in the whole world.

Plus, nobody would ever have to work a day forever.

[BiteYourSelf]

That’s what I was thinking.
