> A Micro CT scan showed that this ancient egg is still full of liquid.

> “Researchers are planning to carefully extract the liquid to better study it,” stated Edward Biddulph, Senior Project Manager, who oversaw the site excavation. “It’s a controlled process similar to egg blowing, where a tiny hole is made in its shell after creating a 3D model.”

I think it is a mistake not to cut the top off the egg and just look inside as ancient egg shell has no value after it drys out and the visual information may be unique,so off with its top, and then take samples of the "liquid" and the inner shell lining, if it's present, and then see if there is any remaining structure of an embryo or the egg as laid.

Do they ship to Mars?

This reminds me of this quote from Jill Tarter of SETI, specifically the last sentence:

“Might it be the discovery of a distant civilization and our common cosmic origins that finally drives home the message of the bond among all humans? Whether we’re born in San Francisco or Sudan or close to the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, we are the products of a billion-year lineage of wandering stardust. We, all of us, are what happens when a primordial mixture of hydrogen and helium evolves for so long that it begins to ask where it came from.”

I think this is not too difficult for humans to comprehend, it just doesn't address the resource appropriation and geographic property claims on this planet. Aside from generational interest, conflict areas tend to have something obviously appealing about them, so there's nothing that a bigger picture nihilism helps with.

Too idealistic view on human nature. We discovered vastly different cultures in the past, no hint of humility (rather exact opposite) or bonding, unless we find a common enemy.

Taken cynically though, is this quote not simply describing the ultimate common enemy?

The ultimate sandbox.

I couldn't find any apple tv on Apple TV. But I did find some banana TV on Apple TV to watch on Apple TV on the Apple TV. https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/banana/umc.cmc.bndisxwgzz4c3...

The next Wayback Machine snapshot, from May 2008, doesn't have the notice:

I don't know if this is real or not, but since the author is claiming to have done this, I just want to say...

That doesn't make it okay.


Quiet... Chilling... Quiet... I make certain noises as I retrieve the wet food container Meeoooooooooowwwww! races ahead to where the dish is

Not only that, but the meows get more frantic as I'm walking towards the spot where the dish goes. She needs to be absolutely certain that there's no chance I'll change my mind two steps before getting there!
