Try bringing home a 30,000 year old flower to your wife/GF/significant other and see how far that gets you when it's wilted the next day.

Acantha Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It was cultivated in the lab, with help from some "clonal micropropagation," from seeds and leaves probably collected by some long-ago species of squirrel. Nature?
DC Tom Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nature? Yeah, considering the key to the whole process was a 30000 year old squirrel...

Just Jack Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Great. Now it's going to shoot of some spores that will infect us and there will be no cure and we'll all be dead by mid December this year.
DC Tom Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Great. Now it's going to shoot of some spores that will infect us and there will be no cure and we'll all be dead by mid December this year. I'm sure Keith Richards will survive. And probably Ralph Wilson, as well.
UConn James Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nature? Despite the terminology, it's really not that advanced. Propagating basil by detaching a stem and putting it in water until roots form in 5-10 days probably has a fancy name too.

Steve O Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Great. Now it's going to shoot of some spores that will infect us and there will be no cure and we'll all be dead by mid December this year. thought we had until December 21
