Do you suppose this microbe was washed ashore when the oceans were higher (or was that lower) before global warming started 10,000 years (or was that 10 million) year ago? But then maybe they fell through the hole in the ozone layer (if it's really there)

This could be very bad...

...if, say, some bug wiped out most of life before the last ice age or something and comes back to haunt us!

Al queda will start running around throwing snowballs at everyone.

It could happen.

Will the Feds have to modify The American Patriot Act to spy on anyone who starts stashing blocks of ice? What about the snow making machines at sky resorts? This might kill MassANuttin'
