Not only do bears do predictable things in woods, but woods themselves are predictably made out of paper.

Yes, even before another quarter billion years of evolution had taken place algae were stringing cellulose together that could last 1/4 billion years ~

We might well ask how it was that "life" figured out that it needed cellwalls that could last that long.

We could ask God why life needs cellwalls good for a full quarter billion years.

So, hey, for an algae cell that expects to be around for a few months why does it need a cellwall that lasts a quarter billion years?

This is Yucca mountain, I am better dollars to donuts they are looking for something special in the salt, some useful DNA or some living creature to try and stop them from using it to store the nuke waste there.

Why else would they be looking at microscopic salt particles for billion year old evidence of plant life? Last time I checked there are hundreds of other salt mines they can go and play with, why choose one steeped in so much controversy to research like this?

This has Skully and Muldar written all over it! Shouldn't there be an immediate quarantine on this site before the Black Oil gets out into the general population?

Cellulite? Why is everyone so excited about finding cellulite? People spend lots of money trying to get rid of this stuff and these morons are searching for it in mines. Cellulite is everywhere. Cellulite? I've got your cellulite right here!

What's that? Its cellulose? Oh. Never mind....

"The joke has been that this is the first time students want to be sent to the salt mines," he said.

Nope. The joke is that this study will soon be announced as new proof of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
