Did the Russians dump their stockpiles of weaponized small pox?WaspInWales wrote:Considering we've only managed to eradicate one infectious disease so far, I don't fancy our chances to eradicate many more that soon anyway.

Measles and TB eradication would be a huge step, but polio seems very close to fucking off for good. Well, that is until a labratory 'accident' releases it along with smallpox and a few other nasties.morepork wrote:WaspInWales wrote:Considering we've only managed to eradicate one infectious disease so far, I don't fancy our chances to eradicate many more that soon anyway.
are you referring to smallpox?
If fucking new age wankers would get on board with vaccination, measles and TB would be history too.
The first time I saw the iconic 'Nessie' photo I just thought "isn't that sombody's arm?" Decades later it still just looks like someone's arm to me.kk67 wrote:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... nster.html
Dinosaur technology. The Jurassic Park scenario.
We realize it's cheaper to raise her hive army of Nessie's than to renew Trident,
the Ruski's have migrating swarms of trained killer Mammoths and the Japs have guerrilla cells of Super Godzilla.
Rapid French carnivorous Diplodocus....
As much as MP is downplaying the ability of genetic manipulation,......they could do a Mammoth.rowan wrote:The first time I saw the iconic 'Nessie' photo I just thought "isn't that sombody's arm?"

We knows whose going to get the blame, aye?rowan wrote:
The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends.
The analysis, the most comprehensive to date, indicates that animal populations plummeted by 58% between 1970 and 2012, with losses on track to reach 67% by 2020. Researchers from WWF and the Zoological Society of London compiled the report from scientific data and found that the destruction of wild habitats, hunting and pollution were to blame.
The creatures being lost range from mountains to forests to rivers and the seas and include well-known endangered species such as elephants and gorillas and lesser known creatures such as vultures and salamanders.

I wouldn't panic. You've got about 4 and a half thousand others to be going on with. There's a couple only you reply on, maybe that can be a safe refuge for you.rowan wrote:What happened to my thread
Yes, and?

Now why would you delete this part, I wonder?rowan wrote:Secondly, I believe dinosaurs and birds more or less evolved together, and were undoubtedly closely related. I don't think birds were the next step in the evolutionary chain, as you appear to imply.
It is my divine mission. It can not be helped.rowan wrote:My, my, what a moronic tone you have assumed with your constant badgering. I shared an article which I thought might be interesting, and you come along like the chief inspector and try to pick everything apart for the sake of it; just as you've done on other threads. My question is, why the animosity? Is it because I don't think as you do? Isn't that the basis of your obsessive nitpicking at everything I post?
Uh, humans are still mammals. Not sure how you'd argue it's "misleading," when here you are basically saying exactly what I'd said earlier.rowan wrote:I deleted part of my original post because I carried on reading another article on the same subject afterward and recognized a certain amount of ambiguity. Birds were not the next step in the evolutionary chain, any more than humans are the next step in the evolutionary chain from mammals, but they did evolve from a variety of dinosaurs, just as humans evolved from a variety of apes. So, while your earlier comment seemed a little misleading, I decided I'd rather not waste my time entering into any pointless arguments on the issue.
