Pentagon to Rewrite Evolution, Create Immortal Life

[Canadamus Prime]

So in other words they're making Super Soldiers. Yeah, 'cause that always goes soooooooo well.

 

[randomrob]

Oh great...nothing's good enough for the Yanks is it...

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

....shit how obvious is it that they're taking over the world?

 

[Captain Blackout]

How long does the human race actually have left to it at this rate?

 

[sabotstarr]

ya, if you have to create a tamper-proof thing, or keep it from falling into the hands of the "wrong people", then it will. Simple sci-fi movie logic.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

I see DARPA as VersaLife in Deus Ex ... if you know what i mean...

 

[The Great JT]

Don't these fools know ANYTHING about what happens when you try to screw with scientific law in movies?! They're just begging for a Frankenstein's Monster Uprising.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

....shit how obvious is it that they're taking over the world?

and we can't do nothing about it...

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Synthetic organisms, eh?

You know you're thinking it.

Someone go get the Magnussons...

i'd love to have a pet-strider!

 

[dalek sec]

Awesome, can't wait to see how this turns out.

 

[headshotcatcher]

I hope I die before the transhuman scourges.. No seriously

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I'm convinced most scientists come up with projects by starting sentences with "Hey, wouldn't it be totally awesome if..."

 

[JokerCrowe]

Ok, that's it! I'm going out to get me and my family shotguns and chainsaws!

 

[Pegghead]

Man was not supposed to play God.

 

[Yokai]

Veeery interesting. I hope this either succeeds or meets with epic failure like the world has never seen. If those guys just go, "Yeah, we couldn't figure it out" in a few years, I will be sorely disappointed.

 

[FiveSpeedf150]

Man was not supposed to play God.

Probably not, but god went ahead and gave us thumbs and free will. It's his own fault.

I fully expected a link to The Onion when I clicked this. I was pleasantly surprised.

Is this a refrence to the Red Dwarf novels? I though I was the only person on the planet to read those.

Indeed it was a reference to the Red Dwarf novels
I couldn't think of anything else to write, but the Genetically Engineered Life-Form came to mind.
Thankyou Red Dwarf for saving me!

Oh sh*t. POLYMORPHS! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Cool! Always good to see they're making leaps and bounds in the fields of science. I'd also be very interested to find out what these lifeforms would look like. Seeing as they'll probably start small, will the lifeforms look like fleshy sponges, or small mammals? What kind of look are we talking about here?
