    The Mighty Tardigrade Behold the awesome water bear A tiny puffy hero Who floats beyond our atmosphere At absolute near zero A brave and fearless debonair Who hardly needs to eat Amoeba here, a dewdrop there It's good to go tout suite A boiling hot tub suits its ways For rest and relaxation And catching a few tanning rays Of cosmic radiation Wherever its eight legs do go It's always got it made To sail the universe's flow The mighty tardigrade - James Leftwich

    So they will be the natural dwellers of the planet after global warming will wipe away most of us. Lovely. I thought they existed only in Star Trek.

    When humans meet a living form, they have to make them suffer to see at which point they die. We have no respect for life.
