Is it just me or do actual experiments like this end up getting thwarted when they go bad by Spiderman ? The last I remember, experiments like this and Spiderman were only in the comics/movies so when eggheads are saying it might possibly end life as we know it/ turn the earth into goo and seriously MEAN end all life as we know it/ turn the earth into goo when we don't really have Spiderman seems, well, FREAKIN' INSANE !
I never thought I would agree with fascism and support killing off scientists for our own good until I read this thread. Suspecting the outcome of an experiment and saying something like "we don't know yet until we do it" is ridiculous. If I thought lighting an M-80 in my hand would blow my fingers off because I suspected it, but wouldn't actually know until I did it seems like a decent example of Natural Selection (tm), because I'd be pretty damn stupid to do that when that was the likely conclusion. The difference is these guys are lighting M-80s in everyone's hands. They couldn't have used their time, knowledge and money to work on something a little more worthwhile like making plant life survive in deserts, curing cancer or shutting Rosie O'Donnell up after she is no longer on tv ? We're stuck here now so work on those problems.
