winter wrote:What does the bacterium currently think about life, and how does it anticipate a no-phosphorous diet will change its thinking?  Sources say they not very happy about government interference in their diet, but are essentially quite happy with a nice uncomplicated lifestyle. However, now that they have been noticed, they fear for their future, being non-conformists, and have actively started a research programme to investigate moving to a new planet. They acknowledge this presents a few hurdles, but anticipate a few million years of evolution will allow them to achieve their goal. As long as they don't have to listen to too many U2 tracks. Asked if they require any assistance with their plan, they replied that since they'd seen WIkileaks they'd rather get on with it themselves.

Orionid Meteor Shower peaks on thursday, the 21st but will be hard to see due to near full moon Try to view them around 5:00 am CST on Wednesday night between moon set and day break. Look towards Orion's redish star, they appear to be coming from there as they pass thru the debris from Halley's comet tail
