DEATH IS AMONG US FROM THE DEPTHS OF TIME!

Not really, but maybe. Anyway, it would make (I think already has several times) a good Science Fiction story.

I'm curious though, what the isolation protocols are for all these samples. Certainly seems like a good potential scenario for a Patient Zero. Maybe, given that most of this core sampling is going on in Siberia, it's all part of Putin's master plan. :)

Have none of those scientists watched 1950s era "B" science fiction movies?

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

These could include Neanderthal viruses or even smallpox that have lain dormant in the ice for thousands of years.

The obvious answer is:  KILL IT WITH FIRE!!

Takes care of the biological hazard risk and will shut up all the Globular Wurmering freaks at the same time.  With any luck, Tallpine will have oceanfront property, too.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Or read any science fiction?

Retain what's coming in; send off what is retreating.

Well, you going to pull those pistols boy,
or just whistle Dixie?
