Fossil Of Devonian Fish-Land Animal Thingie
Six metres long shallow-water-dwelling predator, tetrapod anatomy, scales and fins:

The first complete fossil evidence of a creature in evolutionary transition between water and land habitats.
Really, really cool. I want to be a paleontologist.

In your lifetime, yes. In the lifetime of your known family tree, certainly. In the 3.5 billion years life has existed on this planet, absolutely not.

Absolutely? As in with no doubt whatsoever? With complete certainty? Without any question? As a matter of fact?
Just checking.

But really, we don't need another evolution debate do we?
Seriously?

Thanks. Just checking.

No problem...
Is anyone else NOT surprised they haven't found human bones in 600 million year old rock?
Awesome; we found a fossil that shows evidence how fish started showing characteristics that would make it easier to move around on land for some reason that could be speculated. Now we have 2 new "missing links". (not really)
Edit: Almost forgot to link to Carl Zimmer's blog about this: http://loom.corante.com/archives/200...wards_land.php

It must mean it's impossible to build a time machine because if it were possible you KNOW someone would try and make a killing on historical tourism
Travelling back in time to witness ancient life forms would be Epcot++++++

What would happen if someone accidentally stepped on some of the primordial ooze?

There was a Simpsons episode about this, you unoriginal fool!
Of course, the chances are good that the Simpsons writers borrowed it from some long-since-buried episode of the Twilight Zone.

Nope, it's a gloss on the Ray Bradbury story "A Sound of Thunder" (recently made into a movie that I think only has the name and the general premise in common with the story).
Pretty much the ur time travel paradox story, change the present by changing the past division.

Hang on second...didn't H.G. Wells hit on this in "Time Machine"?

Did he? I thought it was straight up time travel.

Maybe so. Been a while.

come on Chris, both you and I know that man was planted here by the giants, the 'Nephilim' from the planet Nibiru who screwed our fair Earth maidens. Its in the bible
"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days -- and also afterward -- when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them." - Genesis 6
Just wondering Chris, does it say in the super Sun-Book? why God created DNA? Its not like he needs to invent a mechanism that permits evolution if he just wants to fashion things out of dust.

You should see my kids in a swimming pool! We couldn't have lost our gills all that long ago!

You'de think that inverse tachyon beams would distort time into the future.

wouldn't an inverse Tachyon beam, be a joke for a normal particle/wave?
