The Associated Press reports that when Ultima series creator Richard Garriott travels to the International Space Station in October, he will carry with him the DNA of Stephen Colbert. Said the comedian:
I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001 [A Space Odyssey].
Garriott, whose father was a NASA astronaut, is gathering material for a human DNA time capsule. The Ultima designer, often known as Lord British, quipped:
In the unlikely event that Earth and humanity are destroyed, mankind can be resurrected with Stephen Colbert's DNA. Is there a better person for us to turn to for this high-level responsibility?

Thanks good job;
Btw, I think Atari and Midway will drop out too, but mostly travesti because these guys have done nothing travesti or little and need to start saving costs. and dizi izle
YES.
Now I don't have to get off my ass for the important shit anymore!
Whats next, ordering pizza from Xbox live?
Wait... I think that sounds like a good idea.
But I think voting should MAKE you get off your ass, and see outside or a second while you go vote. I mean, your picking the president of the United States of America for God's Sake... least you can do is drive down there and punch out a card.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area. If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?
But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself. Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children. Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story. Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age. The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself. Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head. Not gonna happen. Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.
The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status). In a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent. The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me. Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time. It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?

Because we are superior (HAIL SAPIENS!)
TRUTHINESS!
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
It'd probably be a good idea to get quite a few diffrent DNA samples. From around many thousands to millions and such. The more, the better off out descendants would be. If the new humanity was cloned from like, 3 guys, then we'd barely last a couple of generations...
Other than that, ROFL.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
Actually I think this is related to the same blood sample collection that was being done at Comic-Con, where if you found someone of the opposite gender wearing the same color as you, you could have blood samples take for storage. Although I'm not sure that the DNA of several hundred comic nerds will be that much more useful.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
I don't even want to think about HOW he got Colbert's DNA.

Seems Garriott still has the case of the jittering crazy. Bugger is still raving mad. Who honestly goes out and wears a crown AND proceeds to call yourself Lord British?
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
First comment ROFL.
All joking aside, they should take a woman's DNA up there too, unless they can clone both genders from either one's DNA. Honestly, I don't know.

Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
You could make a woman by doubling up on the male's single X chromosome (removing the Y in the process). As women don't possess a Y chromosome the reverse wouldn't be possible. Of course, theoretically fun as this is, the real world consequence of inbreeding could be quite drastic... :D
Gift.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
Actually, you make Down Syndrome by doubling the X chromosome.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
Well, no, you get Down's Syndrome from an extra or partially extra 21st chromosome, not a doubled X chromosome. You may be thinking of Kleinfelter's Syndrome, which occurs in males with an extra X chromosome.
Re: Ultima Creator Garriott Will Carry Stephen Colbert's DNA
Because an alien race capable of sythesizing a viable human by "doubling up" the x chromosome (which really wouldn't work, atleast as far could do) wouldn't be capable of repairing the damage caused by recessive genes due to imbreeding?
