Not so much in Congress, there are only a few real liberal Democrats there.

BBC News - 30,000-year-old giant virus 'comes back to life'
Quote:
An ancient virus has come back to life after lying dormant for at least 30,000 years, scientists say.

It was found frozen in a deep layer of the Siberian permafrost, but after it thawed it became infectious once again.

The French scientists say the contagion poses no danger to humans or animals, but other viruses could be unleashed as the ground becomes exposed.

Heard about this this morning.

It's a 1960s sf movie! Giant virus comes back to life after being frozen in Siberian permafrost for 30,000 years!

Yeah, sounds a lot like Horror Express, only without Telly Savalas as a scenery-chewing cossack.

I hate you for making me think of that ad. I can't hit the mute button fast enough on it. Last night it came on while I was getting changed and I had to sprint to the remote to turn it off.

Well, I hate you for making me think about people thinking about the commercial when they hear that song, so I guess we're even.

ETA tho, the commercial doesn't bother me because I think it's funny that they have a bunch of people singing about big dicks to sell Apple products.

Is it any wonder this creature produces big sperm?

It looks like it is a free swimming testicle.

And it looks like it was fuss over nothing (or more probably, over galaxy dust). Read the paper here.

"...and its spectral index is found to be consistent with that of the CMB, disfavoring dust at 1.7 σ..."

So yeah, 1.7 sigma is not exactly solid. Good blog coverage here.
