I was going to post something about "the bold traveller" story. It's amazing the different environments we are finding life in. I'd love to know how it got that far down in the earth in the first place.
Also, do we actually have quantum computers now? I thought that they were still 2-5 years away.
The rabies story was interesting too, but I don't have anything interesting to add to it.

If you want, I can get an ex-director of Brookhaven Labs in NY to give his opinion on this.

Take your pick.
And some ramblings (http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/evollawa.txt:QuotePerhaps the reason so many people continue to reject the notion of
evolution is that it seems contrary to ordinary experience. Things left
to chance just don't get done. Random changes in anything simply do not
produce higher levels of organization and complexity. Rather, all
complex machines and devices with which we are familiar are the result
of intelligent design and manufacture. Random changes can only destroy
them.
None the less, the essential claim of evolution is that random change
and natural selection do make simple things spontaneously transform into
more complex things without recourse to intelligent purpose or design.
The famous evolutionist Julian Huxley has defined evolution as a
"directional and essentially irreversible process occurring in time,
which in its course gives rise to an increase of variety and an
increasingly high level of organization in its products." In his book
_Evolution in Action_, says that nowhere in the process of evolution "is
there any trace of purpose, or even of prospective significance."
Huxley says that evolution is driven solely by "blind physical forces"
engaged in what he calls a great "chaotic jazz dance of particles and
radiations."
