freecounterpoint: The Glue Bug

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

My Frontier Thesis said...: Strong stuff: "The challenge will be to produce large quantities of this glue without it sticking to everything that is used to produce it," Brun said. "Using special mutants, we can isolate the glue on glass surfaces. We tried washing the glue off. It didn't work."; 4/11/2006 4:42 PM
Mr roT said...: I predict that this damned stuff will start swallowing up the world. See, first some evil company, run by this blonde guy, will grow huge fermentation tanks of the bugs. Giant sweatshops they'll be, in which the Caulobacter crescentus have no job security or right to unionize. They'll get loose in a violent wildcat strike and to teach the Max von Sydow a lesson, they'll work overtime and make a shitload of glue, giving man the lesson not to fool with mother nature, or if he must, at least provide pregnancy leave for bacteria.

But at the last moment we will all be saved an unattractive attractive death when some wag finds a bug that had some run-ins with these C. crescentus and has a killer glue solvent...

This will get loose in the water supply and cause dysentery.; 4/11/2006 5:03 PM
