These don't look like any of the six species of microorganisms that are supposed to be in my yogurt.
This first one was in a previously opened container that I should have finished it last week, so it's totally my fault. Fungus?

After ditching that one, I opened a brand new container that doesn't expire for two weeks, and I see this:

Looks more like bacteria, but again not one of the species that's supposed to be there. This one is more interesting, because either it was introduced at the manufacturer, or else the seal had a gap... so the species is alien to my immediate home environment. There's a colony growing in the middle of the yogurt on top, too. Must have spread from the colony (somewhat visible) on the underside of the seal.
I should have waited before dumping the first yogurt out. I could have mixed the colonies together and let them duke it out. :)

Aw... they're cute.
Let's name the top one... Sterrence.

The second one should be named Fistful.

So, how does one annoy inferior life forms?
Further, what are fun things we can do with bacteria growing in yogurt?

Biological warfare >:D.

Biological warfare >:D.
But, how do we know if it's evil warfare grade bacteria? I'm an evil engineer, I need to test my bacteria for evilness. Non-evil bacteria isn't useful.
Also, just because tyme posted this, does bacteria have a soul? Is it immoral to kill it? Why or why not? What makes it different from other living things?
=D

Bleach.

botulism ;)

Force them to evolve more quickly by making them fight to the death?
Gene hack them to glow in the dark? ( See http://openwetware.org for more info )
Kill with fire?
Indoctrinate them with anti-socialist propaganda and release them into the wild to recruit other bacteria?

I thought this was going to be about anti-gun liberals... =(

Speaking of inferior life forms, I'll have to call my lawyer. I didn't sign a release for that photo. :mad:

did you lose your decoder ring again?

Remind me to skip dinner at your house..... =|

Was there a message inside that said "Bite Me." ?

Ask him. He's already threatening to sue since I didn't get a signed release to use that photo, so I won't speak for him on whether he does or doesn't have a soul. He didn't seem upset by me calling him an inferior life-form, though. If he had a soul, would he be inferior?

didn't you read the Bible, an atheist's bacteria has no soul. =D

Catholic bacteria have souls. =D

Converting to Catholicism does not magically grant souls to your bacteria.

I vote for finding something in the deep dark recesses of your fridge with a different annoying inferior life form taking up residence in it.
Then, inject some of each into the other and let them continue to grow. See who wins the race for refrigerator domination.

Free bacteria souls with conversion.

According to the latest Papal Bull, it most certainly does. Where have you been? ???

Bacteria are prokaryotes. There aren't any rocks in heaven either.
