That's great. If ever a huge rock collides with our planet or the Yellowstone blows up and destroys everything, at least we'll have somewhere to go.

Actually we will have somewhere to go before a huge rock collides with Earth. I know I'd get the fuck out of here the minute I heard that there is a rock on a course heading near this planet if there was somewhere else to go.

I wonder how long it will take for humanity to destroy all of the resources on the new planet when we are all forced to migrate to another planet.

According to scientists, the day will come when humans will be forced to leave this planet(which doesn't surprise me at considering we have destroyed this planet). This is actually pretty interesting. If you have time, take a look at this.

Or we'll reach a level of technology that will allow us to fix up Earth. If you think that's impossible just take a look at our technology in the middle ages. Do you think many of the people back then imagined the internet? Don't write off humanity so quickly.

And they didn't find a planet, they found a star. Planets are actually notoriously hard to find. For a second I thought they had actually found a habitable planet.

this is modern science, man

stop expecting real results and realize that crappy theories, marketable "discoveries", and stupid suppositions are WHERE IT'S AT!

Hey your a naturalist Viper, cool. I've seen most of these shows. They show them late on discovery here. Kinda funny sometimes though.

... Erm, probably nothing.

I highly doubt alien DNA and human DNA can combine to make a creature (and this assumes aliens use DNA)

Clear me up on this, is beastiality humans having sex with any other species or only species that can't be called sentient?  This will be an important legal question in the near future; with the advent of genetic engineering we are going to start seeing a lot of crazy things, possibly artifically created humanoid species based on animals and shit like that.

I think bestiality is when a human rapes an animal without its consent. When both partners of different species consent, it's zoophilia (or at least according to his (http://www.dolphinsex.org/) definition.

In fact, humans and animals COULD reproduce, if the partners have reasonably compatible DNAs, like horses and donkeys. But the offsprings, like mules, would be sterile without genetic modifications.

Do you really think anyone's had sex with a dolphin?  I have a feeling that site is just a big troll.  When you go to http://goatse.cx (http://goatse.cx) the first link is to  dolphinsex.org...
