I wonder if they take human nominations?

I know a few people who would make excellent emu scat.

Amen to that. I would have said a “sizeable population” instead. If you cannot outrun a cassowary, you deserve to get eaten.

The Anna Karenina principle!

Dude, you need to cut back a little on the ganja.

"Hymn to Babylon, missing for a millennium, has been discovered"

Oh great, just in time for the passage of an interstellar object and the Dalai Lama's reincarnation day.

"When the sun dies, could life survive on the Jupiter ocean moon Europa?"

To paraphrase from the Matrix:

Humanity is a virus

On a large enough scale of the solar system, if you zoom out just right, planets and stars can resemble interactions you can see on a molecular level inside a human body. Most of the time, it is normal organic operation. Every so often though, something goes wrong and you can see a new virus or cancer form on previously healthy cells. Smith had a point. From that perspective life on a planet doesnt look much different.

Then put in a support ticket, and we'll call you later.
