We have breached Lake Vostok, confirms Russian team

I'm betting that there'll be some weird and wonderful creatures new to science, thus enhancing the Theory of Evolution and confirming that life can thrive in all sorts of hazardous places. Deep sea vents being a good example.

You really think it'll make any difference to the idiots who promote Intelligent Design*?

Ya my old school biology textbooks suggesting all living things need light and oxygen to live are way out of date. I should think there'll be bacteria in abundance at least. If the lake has been isolated for millions of years there's ample opportunity for weird things to evolve. You get blind crabs and shrimp at deep sea vents and mad stuff like angler fish at very deep ocean levels. Apparently the lake is really deep too so God knows what's down there.

Wouldn't fancy going down there myself mind you.











What the f**k is that?

"It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests."

Will Putin be diving there?

[steven seagull]

does The Thing know that we've scrapped our harriers?

The Thing can replicate all known forms of life.

It'll be fucked when it tries to assimilate Croydon.

Would be interesting if by doing this they release some new bacteria that could wipe out humans, wonder how they would square that one away.

More to the point, the scientists could "rend the fabric of the Pooliverse" by introducing some nasty contaminant into a unique environment that had remained unbreached for millions of years.

Either this is going to go on the market as "The purest water on earth" in fancy bottles for huge sums of money

OR

it will release some mutated germ or other that will bring on the
End of the World (tm) as predicted by some bloke called A. Ztec for the end of this year.

Think you will find that was M Ayan as opposed to A. Ztec

[DesktopCommando]

Yeah A Ztec didnt spot his one any earlier then Mr Ayan Either

Oh come off it, it's the Russians. It'll be used in the process of distilling a new super-Vodka!
