A robot in Australia is controlled by a Petri dish full of brain cells in Atlanta. The thing draws pictures; the description of them equates the quality to that of a three-year-old, or maybe early cubism.
Remember the microdots spies used in all those Cold War espionage novels? The technology has been updated: now DNA has been encoded into the pages of a book for easier transmission. (OK, OK, it's just an experiment.)
If you haven't a cubicle to call your own, new software which allows you to log on with laughter might be for you.
The giant Chilean blob is being carved up for DNA samples. Note that these samples are apparently not being transmitted in books (see above). The Center for Cetacean Conservation is not in that loop, I guess. (Or maybe the DNA doesn't translate into Spanish, which is the language of the CCC.)

1. go to google.
2. enter: weapons of mass destruction
3. click the I'm feeling lucky button.

I was amused.

Posted by: Linkmeister at July 11, 2003 07:30 AMThe blob thingy looks like whale blubber...I guess someone will announce the DNA findings so we will know if it is blubber or "a rare sea creature lost forever"....
